patients and the public.
High quality health information can have a huge impact on people’s ability to stay healthy and manage illnesses effectively, giving them a better quality of life.
Throughout the week we will be posting blogs and tweeting about the themes from this year's event.
The libraries have access to a number of resources that can provide high quality information that clinicians can use with their patients.
For example Clinical Key has a huge variety of evidence-based patient education materials available. Staff at Northampton General also have access to UpToDate which also contains a large volume of materials for patients. To access either of these you'll need your OpenAthens account (and if you don't have one, register online here).
Both of these resources provide the materials in lots of different languages making them accessible to everyone.
You can also find a list of other health resources in translation on the Health Information Week website.
