Dear list, We're currently considering setting up a clinical librarian service (the model we are following is sitting in on patient discussions at team meetings) but have had some questions raised by our Caldicott guardian. Our Caldicott guardian feels that because the clinical librarian is "not involved in the delivery of care, nor a historical part of the multi-disciplinary team" that we would have to gain consent from each individual patient for the involvement of the clinical librarian. Does anyone have any advice, documentation or evidence that this explicit consent is not necessary, or indeed that the opposite is true and actually that it is necessary? Kind regards, Daniel Croft Librarian Tel: (01865) 738147 Fax: (01865) 738146 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Girdlestone Memorial Library, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Windmill Road, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7LD Visit the NOC Library's website<http://www.noclibrary.wordpress.com> for all the information you need about what we can do for you.
