ePH evidence

Essex Public Health Evidence-Based Practice

EPHRU has relocated to Essex County Council with
the Public Health team and from now on will be known
as the Evidence-Based Practice Team.

Our new email address is:
evidencebased.practice@essex.gov.uk

This new role has caused a slight change in service delivery and also due to lack of space in County Hall, we no longer supply users with book stock. The catalogue is still 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)
