Develop your skills with help from the Health Library

By

Need some help setting up a project? Want to improve your team's skills to take on new activities? 

The Health Library can develop a bespoke training programme to help get you and your team off to a good start when looking at research activities.

Here's an example of how we can help. One of our training and support librarians supported a member of staff at UHNM;

  1. She developed a bespoke series of training sessions over a 4 week period covering: searching primary and secondary databases, critical appraisal of RCTs and qualitative literature, searching for systematic reviews and grey literature. 
  2. In addition a number of links were sent for follow-up reading, free e-tutorials provided by the library, examples of data extraction and PRISMA flowcharts, links to follow-up services that the library could offer.
  3. Some months later, provided signposting for support to the same enquirer, who wanted help in setting out a literature search strategy for a particular research project into weaning from tracheostomy.

We can help you too! If you are planning any new activities and want support from the library service to develop your digital skills, just get in touch. Contact the NHS Lead Librarian, Louisa Fulbrook at louisa.fulbrook@uhnm.nhs.uk
