Across the country, NHS library and knowledge services are working with clinicians and managers to inform the response to Covid-19. At BSUH we have already provided evidence reviews for staff on a range of topics, including:
- The effects of COVID-19 on mortality and morbidity in BAME groups
- Steroids for asthma exacerbations in children with COVID-19
- Higher incidence of venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis in hospital inpatients with COVID-19
- How to predict progression in COVID-19
- COVID-19 and thrombotic and/or bleeding complications
Clinical librarians in other trusts are producing reports to answer their colleague’s questions, such as:
- Advice on mental well-being during social isolation
- Training volunteers to handle difficult conversations
- Care of elderly patients with suspected Covid-19
- Covid-19 and cardiac arrest – survival
- National ethical guidelines for care provision in Covid-19 pandemic
We can help you find the answers to any question that comes up in relation to the outbreak, clinical or managerial. Request a rapid evidence review at: https://www.bsuh.nhs.uk/library/accessing-information/request-an-evidence-search/
