I have over 20 years experience within NHS Libraries and joined ESNEFT in July 2019.
I am responsible for managing resources, collection development, developing services in line with Knowledge for Healthcare and Trust values, providing evidence searches and training on databases, liaising with suppliers and other information professionals in the region.
I am responsible for information skills training, clinical information support, literature searches, cataloguing, stock management and outreach/promotion of the library service. I provide day to day management of the library on-site at Ipswich Hospital and help to manage online resources including those provided via NHS Athens. I can assist with complex enquiries regarding information about health, e-learning, and online resources such as UpToDate, Clinical Key and NHS Athens.

I am the newest member of ESNEFT Library based in Colchester Hospital. I have years of experience working in public library service. I joined the NHS in the beginning of September 2022. I had no idea of how welcoming the staff at Colchester and Ipswich Trusts will be - so far I’ve been greeted with respect, kindness and encouraged to progress and develop my work skills further. I am looking forward to meeting wonderful NHS staff in training sessions and making their research experiences a positive success.

I joined the Trust in Feb 2021 as a Library Apprentice. I passed my apprenticeship in May 2022 and I am now the Library Assistant at our Colchester Site. I will normally be the first face you see when you visit Colchester Hospital Library, so come say hi.
