What is NRIC?

The National Resource for Infection Control (NRIC) is a digital library bringing together the best available on-line evidence-based, quality-tagged resources on infection control and prevention. NRIC is currently funded by the Department of Health and is hosted by the National electronic Library of Infection (NeLI). A key benefit of NRIC is the reviewer's assessments attached to documents within the library. These are written by professionals in the field and provide a short summary of what the document is about and highlight any studies that contradict, potential bias or conflicts of interest. Each review is signed by the reviewer and may be commented on by registered users. To find out more about reviewing documents in NRIC please visit our contribute section.
