NLH sponsorship

The NLH has a small budget of 4K for sponsorship. Although this is small, it is important that the process of allocation is fair and transparent. Therefore a new process for applying has been created. The application form and the criteria for applying are now available at:
http://www.library.nhs.uk/forlibrarians/admin

This is a new process and any feedback is very welcome via consultation@cfh.nhs.uk

I hope to review this in January.

Clinical Genetics Specialist Library

This library is currently being re-tendered by the Department of Health as the National Library for Genetics in Healthcare.The aim is to provide a source of core knowledge on clinical genetics which is evidence linked to promote safe and effective patient care. It will meet the needs of both clinicians working outside specialist genetics departments and genetic specialists, supporting the integration of genetics knowledge into clinical practice and into the design of patient pathways so that patients in the NHS can benefit from the advances in heath care arising from new genetics knowledge and technology.

For more information about the invitation to tender, please see www.dh.gov.uk/genetics
