Librarians set to be NHS cure

' analysis

Librarians working in the NHS have been given a shot in the arm by the publication of a report that argues they should be as much a part of healthcare as doctors, nurses and other clinical and support staff.

The report recommended that so-called health libraries should be at the heart of an evidence-based NHS, helping to inform decisions about everything from which services to commission to the best treatments available for specific medical conditions.

The issuing of formal guidance by the Department of Health stressing the importance of library and information services is among the recommendations of the national review of NHS health library services in England.

The report, commissioned last year by the National Library for Health and published in March, recommended the appointment of a chief knowledge officer at board-level within each NHS body to ensure that the dissemination of information is given priority.
