Top score for hospital’s library service


A Whalley hospital has again been rated highly for the quali­ ty of its library and knowledge service.


Calderstones Partnership NHS Foundation Trust re­ cently had a visit from the di­ rector and deputy director of the Health Care Libraries Unit. The hospital received positive feedback on this year’s assess­ ment.


Calderstones achieved 91%


compliance with the stand­ ards, ensuring the Trust re­ mained rated “Green” for the fourth consecutive year. The assessment is managed by the North West Health Care Libraries Unit, who lead and monitor NHS library services on behalf of Health Education North West. Calderstones is a leading research organisa­ tion with links to several uni­ versities and as the sponsor of an ongoing programme of unique research into learning disabilities. The standards are designed


to help develop a high quality li­ brary service that enablesNHS staff to access high quality in­ formation resources which underpin research. Alongside the training delivered by the Learning and Organisational Development team, this pro­ vides staff with the resources and skills to deliver high qual­ ity care. Helen Scott, the Trust’s


head of organisational devel­ opment, said: “Calderstones is hugely respected in the ac­ ademic world for its contri­ bution to forensic learning disability research. Against a challenging backdrop in the NHS it is good that we have maintained the tough stand­ ards of the library quality as­ surance framework.” The Trust’s library contains a wide range of academic and spe­ cialist publications as well as a selection of books dedicated to supporting staff health and well-being issues includingbe- reavement, diabetic cookery andsleep management.
