We can help - CASE STUDY FROM COMBINED HEALTHCARE

The Health Library can help you in many different ways. Here is an example from our NHS Outreach Service.


Activity:
Research was carried out to find information on transgender specific services for children and young people, in terms of the prevalence of transgender issues and referrals to mental health services, as well as guidance and pathways from existing services in other organisations. A systematic literature search using a wide variety of search terms was carried out on PsychInfo, further searching over six other databases and an advanced internet search. The results were collated into two reports covering prevalence and “service issues” which contained full text access to the relevant documents wherever possible.

Purpose:
To support and inform the development of local programmes through the gathering of information on existing initiatives
