Reaching New Heights Conference 154 delegates – 2 librarians

A cynical definition of a profession….from an accountant

A group of individuals that define themselves by excluding others!

So please break the professional mould and reach out to others

Paul Miller, Chief Executive

Velindre NHS Trust

What can you do?

E-Library Contracts/ procurement

IHC commitment All contracts identified and will be renewed in due course

but... Contracts still held by different organisations Opportunities for rationalising procurements (by IHC or jointly

with Higher Education) Timing, funding, identifying common need, common & unique users

Renewal subject to evaluation as ‘fit for purpose’ – Advisory Group role

Evaluation centres on realising benefits Equity – Geography, profession, organisation Increasing access – more users Patient care, lifelong learning

Realising benefits relies on marketing

E-Library Evaluation

Expert focus group ????

End User Focus Groups Statistical usage information Online questionnaire Staff groups – ATHENS? Evaluation

Initial screening – based on ‘Quick Wins’ Detailed evaluation part of procurement process

E-Library Marketing

Posters and leaflets Distribution – secondary care, primary care

Better quality sources, better quality service

Ron Pope, Lead Theatre Practitioner at Glan Clwyd Hospital is involved in improving patient safety during surgery as part of the Health Foundation’s Safer Patients Initiative (SPI ).

Ron visited the hospital’s library to find out about the latest research on the topic to help him produce the evidence in order to change practice. The library provides a full range of services, including loans from stock, journals, computer searching, Internet/ Intranet access and much more.

One aspect of the SPI initiative looked at the prevention of hypothermia in patients during operations. I f no preventative action is taken it is estimated that 85% of patients suffer from its effects. Adverse effects of hypothermia include:

Poor wound healing Cardiac arrest Blood loss Organ dysfunction/ failure Longer hospital stay
