KnowledgeShare

The Health Library delivers a current awareness service using KnowledgeShare. We can add your specialist interests and you’ll then receive regular emails containing news, articles, reviews, reports, summaries and more.

Topics covered include clinical specialties and a range of non-clinical topics such as: managing and leading people, quality improvement, patient safety, design of care pathways, integrated care, multidisciplinary working, delivering education and professional practice, conducting research, using guidelines and evidence and many more.

The healthcare evidence found on KnowledgeShare has been selected, categorised and summarised by staff at participating NHS library services. Evidence is drawn from a wide variety of sources, including local publications and events, published research literature and national guidance and policy documents.

The KnowledgeShare service now also allows you to sign-up to receive journal table of contents to your inbox. You’ll never miss an issue of your favourite journal title. The list of titles available includes most of the titles in PubMed. Let us know which titles you are interested in, we’ll check the system and set them up; or complete this online request form.
