STAFF DEVELOPMENT

Following NLH's tranistion to NHS Evidence, the NLH Library Staff Development Group has been replaced by a SHALL (SHA Library Leads) subgroup. Its terms of reference are being revised.

The Group aims to support the continuing development of health care library staff. It will do this by:

• working collaboratively with a range of partners to make the best use of the learning resources and staff capacity that is available.
• actively encouraging the uptake of new services and better service delivery.
• Integral to the delivery of this programme is the main group's task and finish groups.

Priorities for 2009-10 are being discussed and will be presented to the SHALL Group.

The Development Framework was intended to:

• Link the changing needs of the service to the knowledge and skills required of the staff.
• Translate the NSF for Library services into the skills and knowledge required for its effective delivery.
• Target staff development at each level so that all staff can be confident that they are able to make an effective contribution on a continuing basis.
• Offer development opportunities that equip staff to progress their careers either within library services or other areas.
