What is happening to EBSCOhost and what do I need to do as a user?

EBSCOhost is used by NHS staff and learners to search literature databases such as CINAHL and Medline.

A new version of EBSCOhost was launched on the 14th July 2026.

EBSCO have provided a guide to searching the new EBSCOhost. Please note that with changes ongoing to the new EBSCOhost interface these materials may at points be under revision.

Do I need to do anything?

If you had saved searches or records on the classic version of EBSCOhost then these will have synced if in the default "Saved" section. It is no longer possible to download the full details of your old saved items with transitional arrangements ended.

Your KLS Team will support you with questions around search functionality on the revised version of EBSCOhost.

There is no change to how you access EBSCOhost – existing web links will redirect you to the new version automatically.
