Help the NHS understand how you access evidence - complete the survey

NHS staff - Your help is required to build understanding of needs for access to evidence in the NHS. The national team for Knowledge and Library Services are researching how NHS staff currently access and use evidence. We have completed interviews with people from all parts of the team and in all settings across the NHS in England. The next phase of the research will seek to validate the needs that have been identified as a result. We want to understand the picture for clinical and non-clinical staff, students and apprentices, those in regular contact with their Knowledge and Library Service and those who are not. You can read about previous user research that informed the creation of the Knowledge and Library Hub and be assured that your input can make the difference. If you can help, please complete this brief survey The survey will close 12 April 2026
