Information Specialist delivering evidence synthesis for healthcare research, guidelines and decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Information Specialist with extensive experience supporting evidence-based healthcare research through systematic literature searching, critical appraisal, and evidence synthesis. I design reproducible search strategies for meta-analyses, health technology assessments, and clinical guideline development, delivering high-quality results within agreed timeframes.
Most recently, as Head of eLibrary, Knowledge and Archive Services, I led knowledge mobilisation and delivered evidence searching and critical appraisal training, while monitoring enquiry statistics and service performance metrics for 65,000+ members. I’ve also managed a six-figure budget and licensing contracts, developed in-house digital archive collections, and supported end-to-end evidence support for 25,000+ members; I bring practical experience with AI-supported workflows to improve operational efficiency and user experience.
