Clinical librarian projects: 1Started in USA 1971-
Integrate health sciences library services and literature searching expertise of health librarians into clinical settings
Overcome time, cost and expertise barriers to adoption of evidence-based practice
Enhance educational experience of students and junior doctors
Enable librarian to gain a better understanding of the patient care context of information needs

Clinical librarian projects: 2Extensive professional literature, including
several systematic reviews:Wagner and Byrd (2004)Brettle et al. (2010)Weightman and Williamson (2009)
Very few projects in mental health services:Reid et al. (2008) – Barnet PCTUrquhart et al. (2007) – North Wales**Gorring et al. (2010) – Birmingham & Solihull**

Clinical librarian: a definition
A clinical librarian seeks “ to provide quality-assured information to health professionals at the point of need to support clinical decision making” (Hill, 2008)
![Page 5: Embedding the Team Knowledge Officer role within clinical teams via a pilot clinical librarian service](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082808/5562b210d8b42a2e6e8b506f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Role of the clinical librarian Attendance at clinical meetings Attendance at / support for journal clubs Undertaking literature searches Evaluating information / critical
appraisal / clinical question answering Facilitating clinical guideline development Service promotion and outreach User education and training

Models of clinical librarian serviceQuestion and answer service
requests submitted to CL – literature search results provided to user
OutreachCL uses a range of means and methods of providing information to users – tries to engage them with library services
Question and answer service plus critical appraisalresponse to user’s enquiry contains a critically appraised summary of results
Outreach plus critical appraisal and synthesisResults of queries include a synthesised critical appraisal
(Brettle et al. 2010, p. 12)

‘Hill review’Hill, Peter (2008)
National Review of NHS Health Library Services in England. London: DH
Important high-level recommendations re: Knowledge management within the NHS
NHS library and information services
Never officially endorsed by DH
Overtaken by ‘Darzi’- led to breakup of NLH
Impetus for many clinical librarian projects
![Page 8: Embedding the Team Knowledge Officer role within clinical teams via a pilot clinical librarian service](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082808/5562b210d8b42a2e6e8b506f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Chief Knowledge Officer (CKO)Advocated originally by Muir Gray (1998)
“In every NHS organisation someone at board level should be entrusted with the role of Chief Knowledge Officer for that organisation.”
Role: to provide leadership and oversight to enable all NHS staff to access and apply the best available evidence in supporting every aspect of the clinical care of patients. (Recommendation 11)
![Page 9: Embedding the Team Knowledge Officer role within clinical teams via a pilot clinical librarian service](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082808/5562b210d8b42a2e6e8b506f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Team Knowledge Officer (TKO)
“Every clinical or management team in the NHS should identify someone in the team as “Team Knowledge Officer” (or equivalent). The Team Knowledge Officer will have responsibility for ensuring the effective input of evidence to enable the team to function properly.” (Recommendation 14)
![Page 10: Embedding the Team Knowledge Officer role within clinical teams via a pilot clinical librarian service](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082808/5562b210d8b42a2e6e8b506f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Role of the Team Knowledge Officer: 1Supporting the team through:
ensuring the dissemination of externally and internally generated evidence, research, information, and data
facilitating knowledge sharing
participating in horizon scanning by anticipating future service needs
Working in partnership with the Chief Knowledge Officer by informing him/her about the team’s issues in managing knowledge
Identifying and participating in relevant networks across the health community in order to make best use of all available information resources
![Page 11: Embedding the Team Knowledge Officer role within clinical teams via a pilot clinical librarian service](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082808/5562b210d8b42a2e6e8b506f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Role of the Team Knowledge Officer: 2Has an enabling role in supporting excellence by
improving: awareness of the evidence access to the evidence
Identifies relevant colleagues for liaison within and outside the organisation, e.g.
education and training library and knowledge services information departments other providers of knowledge
Maintains an awareness of relevant developments in health care e.g. within their speciality, within health information / health informatics services

Role of the Team Knowledge Officer: 3‘Clinical team’ is not defined
‘Nature of ‘Team Knowledge Officer’ role is unclear:Hill – a synonym for ‘clinical librarian’ – advocated
an expansion in the number of clinical librarians serving the needs of a limited range of specialties within acute trusts
NLH - an extra responsibility taken on by a clinician within a team
Wrangling within directorate!

Gorring et al.Four-month pilot project; librarian attended weekly
team meetings in two community MH teams to help generate clinical questions
Senior medical or nursing lead was present to facilitate discussion and clinical question formulation
A summary of the evidence on each topic was presented the following week
Evaluation was conducted using a questionnaire survey, focus groups and interviews
![Page 14: Embedding the Team Knowledge Officer role within clinical teams via a pilot clinical librarian service](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082808/5562b210d8b42a2e6e8b506f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Gorring et al. – reported benefitsLibrarian – built up clinical expertise – clinical context provided
important background information
Consultant psychiatrists – having an external person from a different professional background attending team meetings was beneficial – contributions from librarian were ‘unbiased, unemotional and informed’
All clinicians – librarian input a useful training tool – ‘broadened the knowledge base’ – better understood ‘the librarian’s potential role in enhancing learning’
Team member – broke down barriers to visiting and using the library
Substance misuse team - improved ability to formulate clinical questions
![Page 15: Embedding the Team Knowledge Officer role within clinical teams via a pilot clinical librarian service](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082808/5562b210d8b42a2e6e8b506f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Embedding the TKO roleWorking with each team to develop an agreed Team
Knowledge Officer role to be adopted by one or more of the members under the direction of the appropriate clinical lead
Four services participating:Durham CAMHS
Durham AHP
Durham LD (TBC)
Clinical psychology research structure – Barry Speak

DeliverablesEnhanced information literacy among
clinicians within the participating services
leading to:
Better quality clinician information seeking
A detailed specification for the role of Team Knowledge Officer which could in principle be replicated across other services
Professional publications giving an account of the project
![Page 17: Embedding the Team Knowledge Officer role within clinical teams via a pilot clinical librarian service](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082808/5562b210d8b42a2e6e8b506f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
BenefitsImproved skills in question formulation,
information seeking and critical appraisal on the part of clinicians
Improved awareness of information resources
leading to:
Improved clinical effectiveness, patient safety and patient service quality
An enhanced reputation for the trust for forward thinking as an early adopter of the TKO role
![Page 18: Embedding the Team Knowledge Officer role within clinical teams via a pilot clinical librarian service](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082808/5562b210d8b42a2e6e8b506f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Issues to considerEvaluation methodologies? – to be determined
Information needs analyses – required in detail for each participating service
Tie-in with Professor Joe Reilly’s work on current awareness for the CEO
Possible scenario = a network of TKOs across the trust facilitating research awareness, supported by a (permanent) clinical librarian?
