Library staff returning to work this week began the new year with some excellent news. The NW Health Care Libraries Unit have validated our library and knowledge service’s (LKS) compliance against the national standards and awarded us 91% in the NHS Library Quality Assurance Framework (England) – known as the LQAF. This result is well above last year’s score and puts us safely above average scores for the region on both counts for the first time.
A number of mobile apps are available from Patient.co.uk – some are suitable for Android phones whilst others are designed for Apple.
You can see more available apps on our Staff Wellbeing page at http://www.netvibes.com/ecn-stafflibrary#Staff_Wellbeing
