One for the diary: Changing Lives for the Better, October 17th, Nottingham. We have a terrific lineup -Jonathan Davies MP, Rob Inglis, Roy Wood, Bridget Hamlet, John Dolan OBE, Matt Carl, Natalie Rudyj, Samantha Roberts. Our CILIP Fest in the East Midlands network, is celebrating the contribution of library, information and knowledge professionals to helping communities to thrive. Join us. It's a perfect opportunity for networking, and to hear from leading lights in other sectors. What are their burning issues? The hot topics? Meet up with members of CILIP, colleagues in library and information teams. Or maybe you work with a voluntary organisation or public service that likes to work with community partners? If you haven't thought about how libraries could help, come along and listen in to the Panel Discussion, and maybe join in too. Come one; come all. Head to the University of Law in Nottingham, in time for a 10.30 am start and a fabulous programme that takes us on to Nottingham Castle in the afternoon, and then an optional visit to the Public Library too. Oh and follow the link below, and register in advance please. https://lnkd.in/eWx7JDGR CILIP: The library and information association David F Byrne CILIP East Midlands Members Network The British Library

Cross-Sector Partnership puts Libraries at the nexus of health and digital literacy CILIP facilitated communication and collaboration in the Health and Digital literacy partnership that brought together NHS England, Arts Council England, and Libraries Connected. The Health and Digital Literacy Partnership launched with two cohorts of pilot projects that explored different approaches to improving health and digital literacy. These were funded by the national NHS Knowledge and Library Services team at NHS England. The Partnership enables partners to provide members of the public with the skills that they will need to access, assess and use health information in an increasingly digital environment. CILIP provided strategic planning support and facilitated communication through knowledge sharing sessions between participants and cohorts. These knowledge sharing sessions allowed learnings and outcomes to be shared before the end of the pilot scheme, so that later projects could integrate them for enhanced results, and greater reach. Leeds Libraries ran a series of digital wellbeing events making arts, music or a social activity the main theme of the event, rather than digital health information or health literacy. Oldham opened its library space for members of the public to have online consultations, and Norfolk Libraries trialled "Easy- Read” (accessible) shared decision-making tools for health and care choices. People with long-term conditions such as depression, diabetes, and heart disease are more likely to have limited health literacy. Poor health literacy is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and premature death in older adults, and can result in reduced uptake of prevention services including immunisations and screening. Pilot projects were run in rural and urban areas across England and covered a wide scope, from online resources and health hubs, to community and engagement, to hiring specialised librarians. Staffordshire Library Service piloted ‘Be Your Health’, a programme aimed at 16-25 year-olds, to identify the barriers preventing young people from obtaining accurate and dependable health and digital health information. The programme engaged young people through conversations and a health champion scheme to set up the next stage of the scheme that will be a collaborative health toolkit / passport. Pilots took place in: Suffolk, Norfolk, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Leeds, Lancashire, Somerset, Westminster & Kensington and Chelsea, Scarborough, Newcastle, Ellesmere Port, Oldham, Aylesbury, and Essex.
