Watch Health Videos Online

The Library currently subscribes to a valuable health and wellness database called Consumer Health Complete. Here you can find lots of information on a wide range of health and wellness issues. Recently, Consumer Health Complete have added a new range of Health Daily Videos to their collection. These videos are short and easy to understand. They provide basic visual information on topics such as workplace health, thyroid disorders and eye care.  These health videos have been produced by NBC and there are about 40-50 new videos added each week.

Consumer Health Complete contains information in a variety of different formats including fact sheets, evidence based reports, pictures, diagrams and encyclopedia entries. You can search the database or browse by topic. Some of the topics covered include alternative medical treatments, drugs and medication, pregnancy, smoking, depression and even baby names! There are also a number of e-books you can view including the Mayo Clinic Guide to Women's Cancers and the AMA Complete Medical Encyclopedia. In addition to this, the database contains its own medical dictionary so if you're not sure how to spell a word, it's easy to look it up.

So whether you're doing a school assignment, trying to find out more about a particular condition or even trying to find inspiration for a baby name take a look at Consumer Health Complete for all your health and wellness needs. You can access this database by using a valid Sutherland Shire Libraries card.
