Hello everyone,
I wanted to formally introduce myself. My name is Katie Roper and I am the newly appointed outreach librarian across Lancashire and South Cumbria. I have a background in education, and it was during my time teaching in Birmingham Children’s Hospital, I realised I wanted to work for the NHS rather than alongside it.. now here we are.
My role involves supporting all staff, students, and service users to effectively and efficiently use electronic resources to make decisions and judgements based on evidence based practice.
Struggling to find evidence in your field of work? Short of time to find your own evidence? Contact the library service to aid you with a literature search. Training can also be provided to support your own professional development.
Need help keeping up to date with current information? Contact us for KnowledgeShare request forms or speak to a member of our team where alerts can be personalised to suit your needs.
Do you know where to find the latest clinical information? Contact the library team to ensure you have access to a wide range of resources- including; Athens, BMJ, Anatomy. TV, individual journals and e-books accessible at home and work.
We are here to support you throughout. Feel free to pop into the library for free tea and coffee, computer access, hotdesking spaces and relaxed meeting areas.
