Evidence-based medicine search engine now free

Evidence-based medicine search engine now free

A search engine aimed at health professionals looking for clinical research literature to support patient care will become free-to-access this month.

The Turning Research Into Practice (TRIP) database has been running since 1997, but money spent on improving the search facility, led to it converting to a subscription-only basis, three years ago.

Directors John Bassey and Dr Chris Price now feel that with the service has been improved as planned and can now go back to being a free service, supported through advertising and paid for links into the database.
