Leeds.\u00a0In order to drive forward practice development, the Renal team would benefit from having regular access to a qualified health information professional at the point of need.<\/p>\n<p>The information professional, as part of the multidisciplinary team, can encourage the consultation of research literature and provide a mechanism for getting research into practice, as well as stimulating a questioning and learning culture within healthcare teams<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Clinical Librarian will be available on the Renal Unit (Ward 31) at Arrowe Park Hospital for 2 hours per week at a specified time to provide a \u2018library surgery\u2019 to staff and students on placement.Results from evidence searches and progress on the pilot will be reported back to the Renal Multi Disciplinary Team (MDT) meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Services available to staff and students via the \u2018library surgery\u2019 will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Individual assistance with searching for the latest evidence \/ literature searching<\/li>\n<li>Tailored \u2018ad hoc\u2019 training in accessing health information resources (e.g. NHS Evidence, Pubmed, Cochrane Library)<\/li>\n<li>Collecting literature searches on topics resulting from patient care on the ward (e.g. issues arising from ward round) and feeding back results to the team<\/li>\n<li>General enquiries and advice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project will be conducted as a 3 month pilot.\u00a0 An evaluation of the pilot will determine if it is feasible to launch this as a permanent service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alignment to local, regional and national drivers:\u00a0<\/strong>This service fulfils part of the \u2018vision of the future\u2019 identified in the ILS strategy, to \u2018increase support offered to divisions by the Clinical Librarian service\u2019.\u00a0The ILS strategy states that one of the purposes of the ILS is to \u2018provide support to clinical teams in the workplace and enable the evidence based decision making process.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>This service fulfills the ILS objectives to support:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clinical effectiveness and governance<\/li>\n<li>Education and training, professional development and life-long learning<\/li>\n<li>High quality evidence-based health care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The service supports the clinical governance agenda in the Trust.<br \/>\nThe service supports the four key purposes of health libraries as identified by the Peter Hill Review:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Clinical decision making by patients, their carers as appropriate, and health professional<\/li>\n<li>Commissioning decision and health policy making<\/li>\n<li>Research<\/li>\n<li>Lifelong learning by health professionals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The service also supports the vision of the 2010 white paper, Equity and excellence: liberating the NHS, which highlights the need for patient care quality standards to be based on the \u2018best available evidence\u2019 (p.23).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Intended outcome for customer \/ organisation \/ library:\u00a0<\/strong>Outcomes measured will be the amount of activity generated as a result (e.g. literature searches).\u00a0 Additionally, a very brief evaluation questionnaire will be completed by each person who utilises the \u2018library surgery\u2019.\u00a0 The questionnaire results will provide some impact data as well as helping to identify any \u2018critical incidents\u2019 that require
