Perfect Care is underpinned by evidence. The Evidence and Library Service is a dedicated team of information professionals whose aim is to put evidence at the heart of clinical and corporate decision making within our organisation.
Our services include:
• Access to around 12,000 online journals
• Evidence reviews and summaries
• Current awareness bulletins
• Clinical decision making tools
• Group, team or individual inductions
• Literature search training
• Book loans and book ordering
