If you need to find information or evidence for any clinical or non-clinical purpose we can undertake a literature and evidence base search on your behalf. Our experienced librarians will save you precious time, whilst making sure a wide range of appropriate sources are searched to meet your needs. We also offer 1:1 training to enable you to locate and evaluate information more effectively.

Literature and evidence searches can be requested by ULTH, LCHS and LPFT staff for:

• Supporting all areas of patient care;

• Patient information leaflets;

• Trust corporate policies or clinical guidelines;

• Business case studies;

• Conference presentations or writing for publication;

• Research studies, trials or audits;

• Service Improvement projects;

• Quality improvement projects;

• Training or teaching materials;

• Current awareness, best practice, or CPD

Please note that we can not undertake a literature search that is going solely towards coursework or assignments, if the search is part of your learning objectives, or will be assessed as your work. If you are undertaking an academic course and you need support with searching for literature, then please contact ulth.clinical.librarian@nhs.net for advice and guidance.
