A rolling slide show for a market place stall at the UK Knowledge Mobilisation Forum event on the 7th and 8th March 2018 describing the work of Health Education England NHS Library and Knowledge Services in devising a training programme to build the confidence of librarians to use a range of knowledge sharing tools and techniques.
2. Devise and deliver a programme of
learning…
to increase the confidence and capability
of health librarians to assess
organisational needs and introduce
knowledge management solutions.
AAR – What was supposed to happen?
4. AAR – What actually happened?
2 face-to-face
sessions delivered to
25 health librarians
and then these
individuals ran
sessions in each of
the four regions
Advanced training in
synthesis and
summarising /
business critical
evidence received by
44% of health
librarians in England.
7 webinars were
recorded about
various KM tools and
techniques as a way
of reaching more
people.
Training programme
and materials made
available for others
to adapt and use
Some teams already
confident and
effectively promoting
knowledge
mobilisation within
their organisations
6. AAR – Why was there a difference?
Cascade approach
enabled programme
to be tweaked to suit
local circumstances
but core learning
shared
All are not fully
confident and
competent yet but
knowledge shared
presenting
opportunities to
practise skills
Impact of training
upon confidence and
capability still to be
assessed
First step of ambition
to encourage
knowledge
mobilisation by the
wider workforce
within the health
service
Need to maximise
existing expertise
and share this
effectively -
establishing a CoP to
help
8. AAR – What can we learn from this?
Those devising
training must include
more examples from
those already
facilitating Kmob
Those delivering
training need to build
in opportunities to
provide follow-up
practise of newly
acquired skills and
follow-up support
Those developing the
CoP need to
encourage those with
expertise to mentor
and support others to
build confidence
across the system
Those receiving
training must be
prepared to commit
to action rather than
get “stuck” on theory
Those devising
training need to
incorporate
evaluation to
measure success
and impact

11. Our ambition
To bring Knowledge for Healthcare to all NHS funded
organisations in England
Why?
Knowledge is a valuable asset that needs to be managed
so that healthcare organisations are able to apply
knowledge, build know-how and continue to learn in order
to improve organisational efficiencies and patient
outcomes

By using the tools and techniques from
the KM toolkit, how can you strengthen
your ability to optimise the use of
knowledge in your organisation?

21. The Knowledge Mobilisation Framework
Still under development
Adding to existing

Tie-in with new e-learning
modules
22. Building a national community of
practice for Knowledge Management
Aim: to establish a community of practice
for healthcare librarians and knowledge
specialists with an interest in knowledge
management
Create a space in which people can
share ideas and network as we expand
our experience and expertise and build
capability

28. “Much more than just a database”
“… the KM database is much more that
just a database, it has become part
of a process to celebrate
achievement and enables sharing of
these achievements, serves to
inspire clinicians to innovate or build
on what has gone before, also
promotes the library as a common
meeting ground for the diverse
professions that practice here.”

Knowledge is a valuable asset that needs to be managed so that healthcare organisations are able to apply knowledge, build know-how and continue to learn in order to improve organisational efficiencies and patient outcomes. Knowledge management is a vehicle for organisational development and service improvement.
Nationally and locally it has never been more essential to ensure that the NHS uses the right knowledge and evidence at the right time. By mobilising knowledge and evidence effectively, healthcare librarians and knowledge specialists can play a pivotal role in improving operational productivity and performance and reducing unwarranted variation.
So what does the toolkit actually look like? Toolkit is housed on the KfH website. No password needed.
It aims to ‘fill in the blanks’ for people around the KM goals and give services the support they needed to take a step forward.
It is broken down by the KM goals on p23/24 of KfH, and aims to bring together the practical ‘how-to’ guides in the ‘activities, tools & techniques’ column, as well as case studies of how services are meeting the goals. These include contact details, so you can get in touch and have a conversation! You can use and adapt the tools, but also see real life examples of services carrying out work
The examples may have been a first step into the world of KM, or taking it up a level and doing a bit more.
Emphasise that it’s not a single right way of doing things, but showing the range of ways services are working to meet the goals and share ideas.
Developing to feature more tools – 11 in total and to tie in with re-designed e-learning modules
Building a National Community of Practice
Need to clarify this is for KM and separate to the Leadership/LKS Leaders CoP although a number of people in the room will want to be a member of both.
Not just NHS, academic, private sector, charities and other public sector. CILIPs new cross-sectoral K&IM group. Ruth Carlyle represents HLG.

The output of the T&FG work. Accepting no one size fits all, recognising good practice takes many shapes and forms, developed to encourage and promote collaboration to increase quality, improve reach, reduce duplication. Only just launched, some examples in each sections so you can see how the directory works – but need more please!

Upcoming change in CLA Licence to enable placing abstracts on websites
Find a Bulletin
Find what already exists by searching by topic – uses a controlled vocabulary to provide a degree of precision over recall
Find a Scheme
Find a collaboration schemes could use or join – CASH (revamped), KS, NW Horizon Scanning collaborative
Find a Collaborator
See who already collaborates with others to provide current awareness or alerting services and perhaps see if you could also collaborate with them? Or could you do with some help or guidance on using tools (e.g. MailChimp) or some expertise (e.g. Grey Literature)?
