Brief Communication. The patient library service in England (original) (raw)

1999, Health Libraries Review

AI-generated Abstract

The paper discusses a review undertaken by St John Ambulance regarding its hospital library service in England. It highlights the historical significance of the service, the changes in the healthcare landscape that necessitated a review, and the multi-method approach used to assess current service efficacy. Findings reveal a lack of information needs assessment, particularly in rural areas, indicating the need for enhanced services to meet the health information demands of specific populations, including young people and carers.
