Our evidence summaries collate the most useful information on a topic to support special requests, events, and Trust initiatives. A full information summary and synthesis of recent evidence can be carried out for Trust priorities. An overview summary can be produced to support projects and events. Recent evidence summaries produced by the library are listed below. Please get in touch if you would like a copy of any of the summaries listed. If you would like us to produce an evidence summary on a particular topic, please get in touch at library@uhbw.nhs.uk and we can discuss this with you in greater detail. Full text links to Inclusive Dermatology and Nurse Retention are included here to provide examples of our work.
