A study found North Yorkshire general practices need better library services. Collaboration between clinicians and librarians effectively improves practice libraries and clinician information access.

Area of Science:

  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Health Informatics
  • Library Science

Background:

  • General practices require effective information resources to support clinical decision-making.
  • The role and development of practice libraries in primary care settings are often suboptimal.
  • Clinician information needs within a North Yorkshire general practice were not adequately met by the existing library.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the information needs of clinicians in a North Yorkshire general practice.
  • To assess the current state and identify areas for improvement in the practice library.
  • To explore the establishment of a collaborative project between general practice staff and an NHS Trust librarian to enhance the practice library.

Main Methods:

  • A self-completed questionnaire was used to gather data on clinician information needs.

  • A collaborative project was initiated between the general practice and a local NHS Trust librarian.

    • Main Results:

    • The study identified a need for a new approach to maintaining and developing the practice library.
    • Challenges were encountered, including training needs for electronic resources.
    • Marketing activities were implemented to promote the improved library services.

    Conclusions:

    • Collaboration between general practice clinicians and librarians is crucial for successful practice library development and maintenance.
