RSS 1.0Library & Knowledge Services, including CEBIS
The UHCW Library & Knowledge Service plays an integral role in improving the quality of care to patients in the Trust, with a clear focus on evidence-based patient care and improving the patient experience. It provides a multi-professional, evidence-based service which underpins the information requirements of patients and clinical / non-clinical activities in support of clinical governance, evidence-based healthcare, research, undergraduate and postgraduate education and lifelong learning. The Service aims to provide easy and timely access to information resources and evidence-based knowledge to support world-class, evidence-based patient care. The Clinical Evidence-based Information Service (CEBIS) is available free to all UHCW staff. Whether you have a question about the best treatment option for a particular patient, a difference of opinion with a colleague about the “best” approach to a clinical intervention or like to ensure that you are up to date on the latest evidence based research in your area – CEBIS has you covered.

Gender, race and ethnicity biases experienced by hospital physicians: an umbrella review to explore emerging biases in the evidence base.Objectives: To examine the authorship and content of systematic reviews (SRs) of biases experienced by medical professionals through a gender lens. Design: Review of SRs. Data sources: We searched PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO and CINAHL from inception. Searches were conducted in May 2022 and updated in October 2023. Eligibility criteria: Reviews of studies reporting biases experienced by hospital physicians at any stage of their careers and in any country. Reviews were included if they used systematic methods to search the literature and synthesise the data. Non-English language publications were excluded. Data extraction and synthesis: The main theme of each eligible review was identified through qualitative thematic analysis. We used NamSor to determine the first/last authors' gender and computed the proportion of female authors for each review theme. Results: 56 articles were included in the review. These covered 12 themes related to gender, race and ethnicity bias experienced by physicians at any stage of their careers. The overall proportion of female authors was 70% for first authors and 51% for last authors. However, the gender of authors by theme varied widely. Female authors dominated reviews of research on discrimination and motherhood, while male authors dominated reviews on burnout, mental health and earnings. Only six reviews were identified that included race and ethnicity; 9 out of the 12 first and last authors were female. Conclusions: Understanding the potential for a gendered evidence base on biases experienced by hospital physicians is important. Our findings highlight apparent differences in the issues being prioritised internationally by male and female authors, and a lack of evidence on interventions to tackle biases. Going forward, a more collaborative and comprehensive framework is required to develop an evidence base that is fit for purpose. By providing a point of reference, the present study can help this future development.

Supporting Evidence Synthesis and Facilitating Research into Practice at a Large Teaching Hospital in the UKEvidence-based information underpins clinical practice in every way. While we are all too familiar with the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare delivery, we haven't really thought of how this event affected the use of evidence by clinicians. By learning how healthcare staff see their information-seeking behaviours and barriers to information, information professionals can begin to develop new strategies to support evidence-based practice and decision-making at the bedside and in the boardroom.
