Library Support

Literature Searching

Literature searching puts evidence based practice at the forefront of clinical practice- allowing you to find appropriate articles which could have a direct impact upon patients, service planning, clinical support, further research or simply to keep up to date with your area of expertise.

Evidence can support:

  • An audit
  • A care pathway
  • A guideline
  • Protocol development
  • Direct patient care
  • Service planning and decision making
  • Presentations/ training
  • Research
  • Systematic Reviews

Literature searching provides you with the information you need to find the types of articles that will help you with your clinical practice or research. It is a skill that can be developed and should be incorporated into daily practice.

The Library can support you with training on this topic – (either on a 1:1 basis or as a group) should you wish to develop your skills in this area. Please contact; katie.roper@lscft.nhs.uk to arrange a session.

We also provide literature searching as part of our service. Simply fill out the form below and send it back to academic.library@lscft.nhs.uk.

We kindly ask that you give us 10 working days to find the evidence for your request.
