Health
Information Week is an annual campaign to improve access to health information.
Staff from local authorities, public libraries, NHS, voluntary sector,
independent information and advice centres have all been working together to
make their health resources more available to the public. In most areas your
local libraries and information centres will have extra health information
available, leaflets for you to take away or sessions to show you how to use the
computer to find good quality health information.

more information about Health Information week, please visit the Knowledge for
Healthcare Website: http://kfh.libraryservices.nhs.uk/patient-and-public-information/health-information-week/
