How to access print and electronic resources?
All CWP staff and students on placement are eligible to join the library service.
To access our electronic resources an OpenAthens account is needed (this is a username and password system). This enables healthcare staff and students to use a search engine to find NHS-funded knowledge and evidence resources.
The NHS Knowledge and Library Hub is a great place to start any search, avoiding the ‘noise’ of a general web search and focusing on carefully selected free content for the health and care workforce, students and trainees. That might be a recent journal article, an e-book on reflective practice or a chapter of an Oxford Handbook for a knowledge top up. There are links through to more advanced tools such as the Medline and CINAHL databases, when in depth research is required, and ready to use information like clinical decision tools such as BMJ Best Practice.

A Framework for mental health research (DOH Dec 2017) - this framework provides a collective view of how mental health research should develop in the UK over the next decade. It sets out a structure to improve co-ordination and strengthen the focus on areas where mental health research is likely to translate into significant health benefit. This document is a response to a recommendation in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health Five Year report that the Department of Health lead on the development of a 10-year strategy for mental health research. The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health report was published in February 2016 by the independent Mental Health Taskforce.
