In the NHS "evidence-based healthcare" has been an important driver for change since the 1990s. Evidence based healthcare led directly to evidence based librarianship and that too has been a powerful agent for change in NHS library and knowledge services. Nevertheless, there is much more to do – the power of evidence needs to be recognised across all our professional groups and we need a much more coordinated approach to its funding, development and dissemination.}, number={127}, publisher={University of Alberta Libraries}, author={Stewart, David and Lacey Bryant, Sue and Edwards, Clare and Gilroy, Dominic}, year={2020}, month={Apr} }
