Biography

I have been Head of Knowledge Management for Worcestershire Health ICT Services since January 2005 when Library and ICT Services to Worcestershire Acute, Mental Health and three Primary Care Trusts merged.  Before becoming Library Team Leader for Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust in 2001, I filled a series of different roles within the library services of the University of Gloucestershire in its various incarnations from GlosCat to Cheltenham & Gloucester College of Higher Education.


Abstract

One size fits all? 

The provision of multidisciplinary library services across organisational boundaries.

 

The workshop will examine the issues arising from the creation of a merged Health Library Service serving a number of different organisations including NHS Trusts, Social Services Departments and the voluntary and private sectors.  Using Worcestershire Health Libraries as a case study, various issues will be explored including the problems of marketing your services over multiple networks, managing complex budgets, drawing up service level agreements, and managing change.  Reporting back will include lessons learnt from the Worcestershire experience and those of other participants, and conclude with formulating recommendations for best practice.
