Meet the team

The library team is always happy to help you. You can contact them by email to papworth.library@nhs.net.

Helen Else, Library and Knowledge Services Manager

DSC_4348 - Helen without mask - cropped 2.jpgHelen Else is a chartered librarian with a background in education. She joined the Library & Knowledge Services team in May 2021.

It is perhaps best to think of librarians as Knowledge and Information Professionals. Beyond the stamping of books and supply of journal articles, our role is to support NHS staff with their information needs and to support knowledge mobilisation across the organisation.

With this in mind, Helen’s interests include:

  • Ensuring staff have access to the right knowledge and evidence, at the right time and the right place by embedding Library and Knowledge Services staff within clinical and management teams.
  • Conducting high-quality, professional evidence searches, with accompanying synthesis and summary reports; and supporting others to develop their evidence searching skills.
  • Collaborative, multi-agency bid writing, alongside with clinical and transformation leads.
  • Supporting staff through their journey towards publication, from conference posters to case studies, to journal articles publishing research findings.
  • Tailoring Library and Knowledge Services to meet the needs of the organisation, its staff and students is vital to high-quality provision. Examples include developing responsive training and facilitating journal clubs for clinical and management staff.
