Library and Knowledge Service at the BSUH2016 Multidisciplinary Education Event

Library and Knowledge Service staff presented at the 2016 BSUH Multidisciplinary Education Event on 13 September at Princess Royal Hospital. We offered sessions on anatomy.tv, KnowledgeShare to support evidence-based practice, going beyond Google, iris and online learning and better networking with Twitter. If you missed any of these, many are available as part of our teaching programme.

The conference was a great success, and you can see the coverage on Twitter with the hashtag #EdBSUH16. We look forward to participating in more interprofessional events.
