Information Searching

Do you need help with searching for information or evidence?

Do you have unanswered clinical questions?

Are you studying for a qualification and struggling to identify where the best electronic information is for academic or clinical purpose?

 

We can sit beside you and ensure that you are looking in the right places, in the best ways. You will leave more confident in your searching skills, finding better information and with helpful handouts to remind you later.

 

Contact your Library & Knowledge Service by emailing mcardle.library@nhs.net and ask to book an assisted search.

WUTH publication: Changes to the law on consent following Montgomery vs Lanarkshire Health Board

Citation: British Journal of Hospital Medicine. 2016, 77(6), 355-7
Author: Clearkin L
Abstract: The Supreme Court's determination on Montgomery (AP) (Appellant) v Lanarkshire Health Board (Respondent) (Scotland) [2015] clarified UK law on consent. It is for the informed patient to determine which intervention, if any, they will undergo. All doctors must meet this standard and may need to reassess their practice to do so.
