Episode 3: Unwrapping the Gift of Time

Welcome to the third episode of the NHS Somerset Knowledge & Library Service podcast! In this episode, Unwrapping the Gift of Time we talk with Roxanne Hart (Knowledge & Evidence Specialist for Primary Care and the ICB), about how expert evidence searching services give healthcare staff valuable time back in their day. We explore what "the Gift of Time" really means in practice — from saved clinic hours to faster access to high‑quality evidence. We also look back on the past year, reflecting on KNOWvember, and share some powerful facts and figures. From providing tailored evidence searches to delivering thousands of KnowledgeShare alerts straight to inboxes, we highlight how our service supports decision‑making and patient care every single day.
