Embracing Lenus - the Irish health repository

Abstract

Of relevance to healthcare professionals engaged in research and those who want to deliver evidence-based clinical care, this article describes a relatively new health repository called Lenus (www.lenus.ie). Although managed by the Health Service Executive (HSE), it is freely accessible on the World Wide Web. The benefits and functionality of the system are outlined and an appeal for content submission is made to all Irish health professionals, and in particular to psychologists, who are engaged in research and/or publishing their findings.
