Would you like some hands on training to search effectively?
We are happy to offer group or 1:1 bespoke training sessions to help anyone at ELHT. We can meet you via Teams or onsite anywhere across the Trust. These sessions can help you find the evidence you need an assignment or project, for planning a service change or improving patient care.

  • You will receive an Evidence Search Results Report, outlining the sources, terms and search strategy used and a selected list of key references. 
  • There is no charge to staff of ELHT for this service.
  • Users will also be asked to evaluate the impact of the search after a suitable period has elapsed (normally 3 months). ​
  • Any usage or reproduction of the search output should acknowledge the Library Service that produced it. 
  • We reserve the right to use the topic, results and search strategy for developing and delivering training sessions.
  • Where an evidence search is part of an assignment for an academic course, the library team can provide basic assistance, but will not conduct a mediated search if the search procedure is an assessed part of the assignment.
