Gloucestershire Hospitals Library & Knowledge Services: Request a literature search

Literature Search Service

We can help you with research for patient care, QI projects, supporting business cases, or informing clinical & management decision making.

Take a look at our gallery of case studies below to see the impact of our searches.

Please note, due to high demand we will prioritise literature searches that support patient care, service improvement, and searches with financial considerations such as business cases, research grants, and cost savings. If we think it appropriate, we may offer you a training session instead.

If you are in a trainee role, an apprentice or undertaking coursework, rather than doing the search for you, we offer training sessions on how to conduct a literature search instead. 

We do not provide evidence searching for full systematic reviews. However we can support you by:

• Conducting a quick scoping search on the topic to give an overview of the evidence and check for recent systematic reviews to avoid duplication (please fill out form below)
• Providing training on how to search for evidence using databases 
• Providing training on how to use reference management software
