Allied Health Professionals

Research project opportunity

We have joined up with UHMB Library and Knowledge Services within the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust to deliver a program on evidence based practice.

The project aims to:

  • Map the distribution of AHPs across the ICP, breaking it down by professional role, who they work for and who they serve including any cross-organisational working
  • Increase the awareness of Library services and provide support to aid with the treatment of patients
  • Facilitate links across the Trust and within local authorities to create long lasting contacts and to share knowledge and good practice
  • Offer an educational programme of evidence-based practice based on the concept of critically appraised topics supported by a series of lectures and workshops delivered by Lancaster University
  • Stimulate engagement with research and service development in the ICP and provide the groundwork for research collaboration
  • Equip staff with the knowledge, confidence and support to undertake their own research projects

The project is open to all Allied Health Professionals across the Trust. If you are interested please email your details (name, job role, contact information, place of work) to katie.roper@lscft.nhs.uk

KnowledgeShare

A web based tool which connects you with evidence

As part of the Trust, you have access to the online web-based current awareness system – KnowledgeShare. KnowledgeShare allows you to personalise and target research to your particular field of work, directly to your inbox.

It focuses on evidence that will change practice, includes the latest publications on quality, safety, education and the patient experience.

We will create a profile of you in the system detailing your interests. These interests can be broad (e.g. learning disabilities) or more specific (e.g. dyslexia). You have the option to make your contact details and interests visible to all members of KnowledgeShare in order to promote knowledge sharing and networking, or alternatively you can restrict your details to just being visible to library staff.

If you are already a member click here to log in with your Open Athens account details.

If you wish to become a member, simply fill out the form and send it to academic.library@lanashirecare.nhs.uk
