Cochrane Library Database

Digital Health and Care Wales has awarded a contract for continued access to the Cochrane Library Database, a unique and proprietary evidence resource used extensively by healthcare staff, researchers, and citizens across NHS Wales. The database is exclusively owned by Cochrane and distributed only by the publisher Wiley; therefore, no alternative suppliers exist. Loss of access would significantly impact clinical decision‑making, research support, operational library services, and public access to reliable evidence.
