At NHS Improving Quality, we believe all staff within health and care should have thetools and resources available to enable them to develop the skills and knowledge toeffectively ensure their work is evidence based and appropriately informed.
This thinking led to the development of the Learning and Intelligence Handbooks, the first offer in a suite of guidance tosupport staff to effectively capture and share knowledge and intelligence. Launched in September 2014 and easily accessiblein both e-book and PDF format, the handbooks have been accessed by over 2,000 people in 35 different countries.
