Becca Parrott, Clinical Outreach Librarian at Harlow Healthcare Library, Princess Alexandra Hospital nominated Liz and Sarah for the award: “When they took on the management of Harlow Healthcare Library as well as maintaining management of Basildon Healthcare Library; Liz and Sarah embarked on an epic journey modernising library services; revamping resources; training and recruiting library staff; rebranding and promoting library and information services to staff who were previously unaware that a library even existed. They have both consistently gone above and beyond for their staff, service users, and our profession, and I am incredibly pleased they are being recognised for this. They’ve shown dedication, tenacity and endurance, combined with the strategic prowess required to align Harlow Healthcare Library to national objectives (such as Knowledge for Healthcare and the NHS Library Quality Assurance Framework (LQAF), whilst identifying and meeting the needs of Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust staff and the goals of the executive team."
Andy Morris, Chief Medical Officer at the Trust, said: “Harlow Healthcare Library has grown into an effective library and knowledge service, supporting clinicians and managers in their work and underpinning the practice of evidence-based healthcare in the Trust. The HHL team deserve a big thank you for their hard work in raising the quality of the service, which benefits not only our staff, but in the long-term is a huge asset in the care of our patients.”
