Resource of the Month

The Cochrane Library

The Cochrane Library is a collection of high-quality independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making.

The Cochrane library promotes evidence-informed health decision-making by producing high-quality, relevant, accessible systematic reviews and other synthesized research evidence.

Their work is internationally recognised as the benchmark for high-quality information about the effectiveness of health care and is generally known as the ‘Gold Standard’ for systematic reviews.

Access the library here. For help with this please email the library team: academic.library@lscft.nhs.uk

Please feel free to download our resource of the month poster and share with your team or within your department.

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.

Read here for more details and a user guide to get you started.
