  7. Independent toolkit testing Commissioned by NLH Service Development Group • to demonstrate if, and how, the information that library service makes available to clinical staff is having a direct impact on patient care. In particular it is hoped to gather stories that demonstrate: • a positive impact on clinical outcomes • the effective and efficient use of library funding • the impact of the library service on physiotherapists and occupational therapists, both those based in the hospital and those working in the community (recognising that therapy groups are less well represented in the research literature than medical and nursing staff).

  8. Sharing the learning • Theory into practice: Lessons learned report to NLH Service Development Group including practical tips on how to apply the toolkit • FOLIO – MAXIM February 2009 • Workshops?
