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.
