We can help - CASE STUDY FROM NORTH STAFFS COMBINED HEALTHCARE

By
The Health Library can help you in many different ways. Here is an example from our NHS Outreach Service.
Research:
One of our Outreach Librarians, Clare,  carried out literature a search on the topic of group psychological interventions alongside clients with long term physical health conditions. North Staffs Combined Healthcare has patients with a variety of conditions including medically unexplained symptoms, epilepsy, and chronic pain. A systematic search was carried out across all relevant databases and a report document was prepared which included all references, listed any systematic reviews separately, and provided links to full text using NHS Athens.

Purpose: 
To provide information for an evidence base of knowledge which may be used to improve service delivery and patient care in the future.

For more help from the Outreach Service contact the team here.
