Surely our primary care and public health librarians are so precious - their expertise so vital, and their potential impact and workload so very great at local level - that we can all benefit from a service that gathers the evidence base on those questions that do come up regularly? Despite the generalist nature of community and primary care, we all know that there is some commonality. For my part, I'll be supporting the pilot enthusiastically, welcoming the opportunity for us to maximise our impact rather than waste scarce resource by replicating the wheel. Equally, I will be looking carefully at how questions are filtered and selected, and at how collaboration can be built so that this Primary Care Question Answering Service develops as an indispensible, complementary service, trusted by healthcare librarians and primary care staffs alike.
