Structured searching for health students (using CINAHL and other databases)

You can open CINAHL and search without having to create a personal account but you need to create a personal account in order to:

• Save searches (which you can retrieve and re-run later).
• Save articles – so you don’t have to look through the full set of results each time you run a search.
• Create folders, so you can organise your saved articles.

The username and password you create is personal to you. If you forget your password you will need to Reset it.
