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 you may wish to check on these. There is also a limited window to download the full details of your old saved items including some items that will no longer be visible soon.
Your KLS Team will support you with questions around search functionality on the revised version of EBSCOhost.
You will continue to login to EBSCOhost with your OpenAthens username and password (or Trust login where that applies).
There is no change to how you access EBSCOhost – existing web links will redirect you to the new version automatically.
An additional FAQ is available to address downloading your records
Can I download details of all of my saved searches, records and other things from EBSCOhost? (note - this function will end on 31st July but will remain available on the 14th via the Projects folder on EBSCOhost)
