Librarians are well-placed to help access the evidence-base, to encourage the development of the knowledge base (for example through support for research and writing for publication) and to help ensure knowledge is disseminated\u00a0(OD6, p.68)<\/li>\n<li>LKS staff are ideally placed to train, support and engage healthcare professionals in engaging with the technology\u00a0(OD3, p.66, E6 and E8, p.78)<\/li>\n<li>Knowledge management opportunities are abundant \u2013 the review specifies that an increase in knowledge specialist posts to support healthcare professionals is required\u00a0(DM4\/AIR5, p.49 and 57)<\/li>\n<li>LKS can provide support via digital and healthliteracy\/needs based targeted education and support upskilling of current workforce (OD3, p.66 and E6 and E8, p.78)<\/li>\n<li>LKS are well positioned to link up with local community via GP surgeries and community events\/local libraries\/education to support both patient\/public and healthcare professional education (P2, p.25 and HI1, p.25)<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s an opportunity for LKS staff to be the champions and create the collaborative networks required to support workforce with lifelong learning\/continuing professional development<\/li>\n<li>A culture of learning is recommended as an educational recommendation to support a digitally enabled health system, something that LKS enhance in multiple ways across NHS Trusts (E1, p.74)<\/li>\n<li>As training and educational programmes evolve to address digital technologies; to adequately support these programmes LKS may need to review and \/ or expand on their provision of resources covering the areas of genomics, artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital technologies.
