5 1. Introduction Recent times have brought unprecedented change to Library Services within the Health Sector. The rise of the Internet in particular has created a range of new information formats and increased accessibility to information. There has been a gradual move of library function from a book depository, to the creation of a functional study space, teaching of information literacy skills and specialisation in information consultancy. The role of the Library within the modern NHS has been clearly defined in Hill Review (2008) with further emphasis from the Darzi Review (DH 2009). The Hill Review identifies purposes for library and knowledge services around which this document is based: Clinical decision making by patients, their carers as appropriate, and health professionals Commissioning decision and health policy making Research Lifelong learning by health professionals. The importance of quality information and evidence based practice has been further highlighted by the Government white paper Equity and excellence: Liberating the NHS (DH, 2010) which states that Information, combined with the right support, is the key to better care, better outcomes and reduced costs. Since the appointment of two new Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT) employees in December 2009, a number of key developments have been achieved to align the service to these purposes: Development of the Library pages on the Trust Intranet and Internet Re-introduction of the library information literacy training service Streamlined and increased access to electronic resources purchased on national, regional and local basis. Introduction of a mediated literature search service Redesign of the library to accommodate different user requirements, including comfortable quiet reading area, new group study desks, new computing area with additional new NHS and new University of Chester computers. Improvement library stock management practices Installation of energy saving lighting and promotion of the green agenda Provision of new collection of online books for undergraduates, leadership and management. This document will ensure that the Library has an agreed framework to continue the momentum of service development, ensure that quality and stakeholder consultation is key in the process and raise awareness of changes in service provision.

6 2. Purpose The purpose of this Strategy is to provide a framework for the delivery and development of library and information services for the Joint Education and Training Library (JET Library), MCHFT. The Library Quality Assurance Framework (LQAF) England (SHALL 2010) requires that all NHS funded library/knowledge services implement a Library and Information Strategy which has been formally approved by the Trust Board. Strategic planning provides a framework for delivery of a quality service. This strategy has been developed following considerations taken from the Equity and excellence: Liberating the NHS (DH, 2010 which emphasizes the importance of quality information provision for evidence based care, commissioning and management decisions. National Service Framework for Libraries (NIII, 2008) outlines quality service management within the NHS and, in agreement with the Hill Review (2008) which integrates the library within the quality structure of the Trust. Additional guidance has been taken from the NHS Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention Challenge (QUIPP) (2010), in conjunction with the Darzi (DH 2009) and Tooke (2008) reports. Strategic alignment has also been made with the North West Health Care Libraries Unit s Strategy (HCLU 2009). The importance of this strategy is reflected in the fact that it encompasses the key aims and objectives of the MCHFT, as outlined in Our Hospitals, Our Future (2007), MCHT Workforce Plan (2007) and the MCHFT Nursing and Midwifery strategic objectives (2008). This is in line with the Hill Review (2008) which places the Library as core to Trust business. The Library Service aims to provide support, through the promotion of evidence based practice, in the following areas: putting patients at the heart of everything we do improving the quality of clinical services supporting departments to meet standards helping through quality to sustain the Trust position as provider of choice ensuring public money is well spent by ensuring accessibility and provision of a centralized service to reduce duplication of departmental journal purchases. working with Learning and Development to support staff in continuing professional development and lifelong learning working in partnership with University of Chester and North West NHS Health Libraries to improve resource access, value for money, service development and quality of service. The National Health Service Constitution for England (2010) suggests that it is a right of all staff to have the tools, training and support to deliver care and the opportunities to develop and progress. In his recommendations, Lord Darzi (DH 2009) highlights the importance of providing high quality patient care by the provision of a skilled workforce. The Library will work with other members of the Division, namely Learning and Development to help the Trust to achieve this requirement. Darzi also recommends that there should be easy access for NHS staff to information about high quality care. To facilitate this, the Darzi report provided for the creation of a new NHS Evidence Service overseen by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). The JET Library, in line with the recommendations of Darzi will promote and provide access and training to this new Evidence Service. This strategy details the current services provided by the JET Library and sets out its vision, aims and objectives for the years Page 5 of 18
