According to this report, specialist library services are freeing up the time of clinicians, enabling them to devote more hours to patient care, and could be saving the NHS as much as £77 million a year. It finds that if the ratio of librarians to health professionals was increased to the level recommended by Health Education England, it’s thought that figure could rise to as much as £106 million. It also finds that health librarians and knowledge specialists make the gathering of information as easy as possible for health care professionals, relieving the burden of sourcing and making sense of evidence. This helps NHS organisations meet their statutory duty to use evidence from research within the service.

Insomnia is the UK’s most common health complaint, and if left untreated can cause more serious mental health problems. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence clinical guidelines recommend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia. The issue is that a rise in cases leads to longer waiting lists, or patients self medicating.
However digital CBT may be the answer. One intervention – Sleepio – provides digital CBT for insomnia from the click of a button. Sleepio is highly evidence-based and is backed by 12 Randomised Controlled Trials.
In a recent project, results were promising, showing high levels of engagement with patients, a high recovery rate and improvements in mental health and wellbeing, along with a reduced cost to the NHS.
