The Clinical Information Access Portal (CIAP) provides information and resources to support evidence-based practice at the point of care. CIAP is available to all NSW Health employees including students on rotation and can be accessed from work and remotely. Western Sydney Local Health District Libraries provide training, support, help with registrations, and linking our catalogue and document delivery services to CIAP.
You can access CIAP using a hospital desktop computer, corporate mobile or a device connected to the VPN using a secure ID here.
For access without VPN (e.g. using a personal phone or laptop without secure ID) go to CIAP, then select Log in on the top right hand corner of the page, then login with your stafflink login.
Individual and group training sessions are provided by WSLHD Libraries.
