BVS-P Health Professions

The Digital Library for Health - Piedmont (BVS-P) was established in 2009; the main purposes are to offer free and homogeneous access to the best research findings available in the literature for staff operating in the Regional Health Authorities (ASR) and in the Regional Environmental Protection Agency (ARPA), thus guaranteeing an effective clinical governance tool, professional development and research support.

With decree no. 11-6321 of 28 December 2017, the Regional Council entrusted the Digital Library for Health-Piedmont (BVS-P) with the acquisition of electronic periodicals and databases for students of the degree courses of the Piedmont Health Professions. The BVS-P, through the ASL of Biella, has uploaded at http://professionisanitari.bvspiemonte.it a large catalogue of resources useful for university education.

If you attend one of our Health Professions degree courses, visit the website http://professionisanitari.bvspiemonte.it and click on "LOGIN" at the top right.
