RWT Knowledge Services: Home

Welcome to the Knowledge and Library Services of Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust. We are a multidisciplinary knowledge service supporting Trust staff in all departments and students during their placements.

We provide quality-assessed information, evidence-based resources and information skills training at the point of need in support of clinical practice, healthcare management and leadership, clinical research, ongoing professional development and academic study.

Our purpose is to contribute towards improving patient outcomes, helping to deliver the best in care.
