Librarians' presence at ward rounds or handover meetings can help integrate evidence based practice with patient care. We currently attend ward rounds with the following teams

• ICU (Intensive Care Unit)
• MAU (Medical Assessment Unit)
• Medicine for Older People
• NSIC (National Spinal Injury Centre)
• Paediatrics

This video from Wirral Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust explains how a similar service works and how it can benefit healthcare professionals and quality of care.

Clinical Outreach Librarians can support your journal club by:

• Recommending sources for locating new evidence
• Searching for a paper to discuss
• Offering general advice on running a successful journal club
• Giving short presentations on locating and appraising evidence including basic statistical concepts

Please contact the clinical outreach librarians for more information

At a pop up library, healthcare staff can visit a temporary library stand on or near the ward and:

• Find out about the library services and online resources
• Register for an NHS Open Athens account
• Join the library
• Browse a small selection of books
• Obtain advice on finding information

Please contact the clinical outreach librarians for more information.
