A Million Decisions: evidence-based healthcare

Health Education England and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals have launched a joint campaign for decisions in the healthcare sector to be fully evidence-based. Every day more than a million decisions are made that have a profound and lasting impact on people's lives and which influence the quality of healthcare and the cost of services.

The #milliondecisions campaign campaign calls for everyone involved in policy making and care delivery to use the skills of librarians and knowledge specialists in meeting their obligations under the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

Can you offer help with statistics?
The Library would like to compile a list of people who can offer colleagues help with doing statistics.  Research or writing for publication may involve using statistics. Some people have access to help (for example, through a local University, from other members of the research team, or from the sponsor or organiser of the research), but some do not.
 
If you would like to join this list, and receive requests for help, please fill in this form at http://bit.ly/2jF227j  
 
The Library is compiling lists of books and other resources about statistics.   Watch our website for details.
