Health Information Week

This week is Health Information Week, a national, multi-sector campaign promoting high-quality information for patients and the public.

Health Information Week 2020 runs from 6th to 12th July and focuses on the themes of:

• Finding information you can trust

• Wellbeing

During this week the library has been promoting both themes via the library blog and in the Gosall Library. 

In our final post in this series we would like to introduce you to the Library Evidence Hub; a resource bank of carefully selected material that has been collected together with the aim of being a one-stop shop for staff and students who work and study at LSCFT.
