Covid19 Summaries of Evidence

What are the HSE’s National Library’s Summaries of Evidence?

NHLKS Summaries of Evidence are compilations of the latest research evidence and key reference information related to Covid-19. They are developed by the NHLKS Evidence team in response to questions received by healthcare professionals via our online evidence request form.

Each Summary of Evidence contains a comprehensive representation of all available research evidence and key reference sources and provides collated information on a topic of interest, displayed in a way that it is easy to follow and understand. They aim at supporting our healthcare professionals to make informed decisions.

Evidence summaries on topics related to Public Health in Ireland are available at the HIQA website

Please note: Official guidance and evidence related to infection prevention and public health measures is regularly updated by the Health Prevention and Surveillance Centre. So no evidence compilations related to those topics are included in this page.
