Join us for an interactive discussion exploring the role of health librarians in supporting nurses with information literacy and implementing evidence-based practice. This chat will focus on nurses as your host for this chat will be @holmesrachelj from Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust; she is completing her Masters research dissertation on this subject and would be very interested to learn how other health libraries are tackling this issue.
The subject has come up in online several discussions recently e.g. on the LIS medical chat and in an HLG research presentation, so this is your opportunity to join the conversation and ask questions about how other librarians are supporting nurses in their Trusts and learn from each other.
We will start with an icebreaker! Introduce yourself and confess how few chocolate Easter eggs you have left already!
And the questions will be:
1. In your experience where do nurses prefer to get their information from?
2. What do nurses use your library for?
3. How do you anticipate the information needs of the nurses you support?
4. What is your experience with IL teaching for student nurses and qualified nurses?
5. Do you adapt your current training for nurses or do you have any specific training courses for nurses?
6. What are the barriers for implementing EBP for nurses? How could the library support and help resolve this?
7. Do you have any outreach projects especially aimed at nurses or could a current project be adapted?
8. In your opinion, how can libraries promote their services better to nurses of all grades and experience?
We look forward to seeing you there!”
