Essex Public Health Evidence-Based Practice
EPHRU is relocating to Essex County Council with the Public Health team at the beginning of June, where we will be working as the Evidence-Based Practice Team.
This new role will cause a slight change in service delivery and also due to lack of space in County Hall, we will no longer be supplying users with book stock. The catalogue will still be running for eBooks. In future our service will include the following or variations thereof, once we have determined exactly what is needed:
- Literature searching for evidence and good practice, both proactively as well as to support team projects.
- Horizon scanning and evidence summaries
- Current awareness bulletins (and blogs if software is compatible)
- Training for staff to carry out their own research
- Table of contents provision for key PH and commissioning journals
- Support for research networks
- Subscription to relevant specialist databases not free or provided by NHS e.g. sociological databases and/or HEED (Health Economic Evaluation Database). Continued subs to WoS (Web of Science which also has built in reference managing tools)
- Critical appraisal (if staff numbers and resources permit)
- Article tracing and provision
- Support for Joint Service Needs Assessment (JSNA)
- Input to Annual Public Health Report
