Thanks for this, using your "\usepackage" above, but which do I use
for the bib database? I've tried both but I'm not sure which is
working. 
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\addbibresource{uh2014.bib}
\bibliography{uh2014}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is part of "uh2014.bib"
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@Article{MacRae2002,
  author = {MacRae K. Pattison J.},
  title = {Home chemotherapy.},
  journaltitle = {Nursing Times},
  year = {2002},
  key = {MacRae2002},
  volume = {98},
  number = {35},
  pages = {34-35},
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and in the text it is cited as
╭────
│\cite{MacRae2002}
╰────

but it shows in the pdf as "M. K. P. J. 2002."

How can I get it to show as"[MacRae2002]" please?

Thanks
Sharon.
