The e-Journals are also available to all eligible users via GoogleScholar. Adding “NHS Wales” to your GoogleScholar’s list of libraries will mean you will reduce the risk of hitting paywalls on e-resources that you should have access to through the e-Library subscriptions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRQo-MT8Fkg&t=1s
