Current Awareness
Current awareness updates can help you stay up to date with the latest evidence in your field. We offer email bulletins which bring together recently published research, news and guidelines on your area of interest. We can also set up Table of Contents alerts (eTOCs) for journals which will send you the contents list whenever a new issue is published.

We offer 1-2-1 and group training sessions for support with information skills including finding and appraising the evidence, referencing and more. To arrange a tailored training session, contact the library library.enquiries@stockport.nhs.uk
