Coaching for primary care staff at your workplace

Are you new to the Internet and unsure how it can help support your practice? Would you like to find out how to access full-text journals via the web? Do you want to find out how to search bibliographic databases such as Medline or the Cochrane Library more effectively? Are you interested in finding evidence to support your practice but not sure where to start?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then why not take advantage of the information skills coaching service developed especially for primary care? The Information Development Officer for Primary Care can travel to your workplace and provide one-to-one or small group coaching at a time to suit you.

Aim:

These sessions can help you develop your knowledge of electronic health information, and to search the Internet and research databases more effectively. Support is available for both beginners and those with some experience of searching.

You can get help with:

• Searching the internet for sources of health information and evidence.
• Exploring more targeted internet-based resources such as the Cochrane Library or National Electronic Library for Health (NeLH).
• Searching major medical databases such as Medline and CINAHL (KA24).
• Accessing over 1000 full--text journals (KA24).
