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.” To attend the awards ceremony book here: https://www.cilip.org.uk/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1200307&group= Programme in brief 5.00 Registration, networking, wine and nibbles 5.45 Welcome, Denise Carter, Chair K&IM 5.50 David Stewart, CILIP President 6.00 Walford lecture by Sue Lacey Bryant – 2018 winner of the Walford Award 6.45 Awards presentation 7.30 Networking, wine and nibbles For more information about K&IM and UKeiG please go to: K&IM https://www.cilip.org.uk/members/group_content_view.asp?group=200663&id=685445 UKeiG https://www.cilip.org.uk/members/group_content_view.asp?group=201314&id=692156 CILIP members can join any CILIP Special Interest Group for free.
