During November, knowledge and library specialists showcase the many ways they mobilise evidence and knowledge.
This enables people to learn before, during and after everything they do so that good practice can be replicated and pitfalls are avoided.
It is an opportunity to encourage more people working in the NHS to:
- apply and use evidence
- build know-how
- continue to learn
- drive innovation to implement successful change
- transform services and improve the quality of care
