Keeping up to date with your professional interests

Keeping track of new evidence and publications can be difficult, but the library’s KnowledgeShare service can make it much easier.

As well as clinical topics, KnowledgeShare also includes recent publications on topics such as:

  • Leadership
  • Education
  • Health care finance
  • Research methods
  • Change management
  • Human factors
  • Safeguarding
  • and much more!

Sign up for our KnowledgeShare service at and receive personalised updates of new information on topics you're interested in. Because the service is tailored to your interests, you're more likely to receive updates on only the things you really want to know about.

Many of the resources used are freely available, so you'll be able to access them with one-click, and most of the remainder are available with an NHS OpenAthens account.

Updates are sent out fortnightly, so you won't be inundated with emails.

UpToDate as a source of teaching images

Are you looking for high-quality images for use in teaching? SaTH's subscription to UpToDate includes over 33,000 pictures, tables, illustrations, diagrams, graphs, algorithms, and videos to help you discuss and answer clinical questions with your colleagues and patients. Additionally, these graphics are easily exported to use in PowerPoint presentations for training purposes.

To locate graphics, you can do a topic search as usual and then select 'Graphic' to filter your search to graphics only.

The resulting graphics appear in thumbnail format; clicking on a thumbnail opens a larger version of the graphic and also provides a link to export to PowerPoint.

You can also view any graphic from within a topic by clicking the links to the images from the topic content list.

All the images in UpToDate are licensed for use in teaching within the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
