What is Health Information Week?
Health Information Week (#HIW) a week in which NHS Libraries share resources and hold events around certain topics that are important in healthcare for staff and patients to use.
What have we to offer for the two themes?
We have created two information resource lists available online (see below) and displays in our main library that include online services, information and books (both eBook & print) that may help you with your own and your patients’ healthcare.
Why should you use it?
Health Information Week is a national, multi-sector campaign to promote high quality information. High quality health information can have a huge impact on your ability to stay healthy and manage illnesses effectively, giving you a better quality of life.
Feel free to share the links with your teams and with your patients.
Posters are available if you wish to share them in your departments or patient areas – please email Sinead Blowers for more information.
