Welcome to the Research Development & Innovation (RDI) Department.

We are based at the Ormskirk Hospital site. The RDI Department deals with all aspect of clinical research and innovation at Southport & Ormskirk Hospitals.

Research is vital to the NHS as it means we can continually improve the healthcare we provide to our patients and develop new and improved treatments and medications.

"Our aim is to increase the number of research studies we can offer to our patients and to help them understand more about research and what it means to the NHS." Mrs Jeanette Anders, RDI Manager.

What Our Library Users Are Saying...

"Apprentices now have greater access to resources, not only at College or University but in the workplace. The benefits are not solely logistical; the resources and services available to them via the Library & Knowledge Service are current, relevant and varied."

"The library provided me with the evidence base to support a service development of developing a early discharge detox policy. This has improved patient clinical outcomes. This also reduces length of stay and re-attendance at A&E."

"Literature searches carried out by the library staff assisted in the development of a new education program for unregistered staff in response to the Francis report."

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."

"The information I receive has a positive impact in my role as a Non-Executive Director. Over the past year in post I have found the library alerting service to be an invaluable resource it is a great way to be kept informed via the on-line platform that I can access at times to suit."
