Hello List
I have been given permission by the list managers to ask a question related
to my degree in Information Managment formerly librarianship at Thames
Valley University Ealing.
Please could you take a look and see if it might be of interest? I wish to
see whether clinical practitioners may be beneficial in library and
information management and vice versa and would like to ask the list the
following question please:
Do librarians and occupational health nurses see a need for cross-training
in health information management to the extent of it being a profession in
itself, or simply added on to current job description dynamics? If there
were to be an option for cross-training would it be better for specialist
librarians to have a 'foundation training' in public health issues, or vice
versa?
How might this role be marketable??
I have distributed a questionnaire regarding preferred ways of seeking
information among the CLOHNG and the Leeds OH Group and other OHN's, (which
if anybody is interested in, I could send to you) am however still a little
fuzzy as to the overall view records managers and librarians might have of
cross-training in library and information studies? Could it play a role? (
in 'back to work' teams?? and better collaboration between GPs and OH? )
OTHER? thank you very much for your ideas on this, I'd be most grateful for
your fruitful insights.
Many thanks
Best Wishes
Iona Astley
