Knowledge for healthcare: Open Access in the NHS Richard Osborn London Strategic Lead for Library Services & e. Learning

Knowledge for Healthcare Full framework and a short briefing are available at: • https: //www. hee. nhs. u k/our-work/researchlearninginnovation/libraryknowledge-services @NHS_Health. Ed. Eng #HEELKS

An ambitious vision Note the inclusion of patients and the public – a much wider scope than NHS library and knowledge services have traditionally covered. @NHS_Health. Ed. Eng #HEELKS

Knowledge for Healthcare Programme Four workstreams: • • Workforce Planning and Development Service Transformation Quality and Impact Resource Discovery plus some other areas of work, e. g. funding, return on investment, copyright etc… @NHS_Health. Ed. Eng #HEELKS

Resource Discovery 5 strands to this workstream: • • • Collaborative procurement Knowledge Hub Authentication Discovery Service for the future Open access publishing & repositories “Quick and easy access to the widest possible range of resources” is the aim of the resource discovery workstream @NHS_Health. Ed. Eng #HEELKS

Open Access content • Open access content from over 2, 000 additional titles has been made more easily discoverable, by adding titles to the NHS Link Resolver – from publishers such as Wiley, Biomed Central and Elsevier • NICE plan to build on this collection in the future @NHS_Health. Ed. Eng #HEELKS

Open Access publishing • National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is leading the way. @NHS_Health. Ed. Eng #HEELKS

Open Access publishing • There is a commitment in Knowledge for Healthcare to encourage open access publishing more widely across the NHS • Open Access Task and Finish Group plans to produce guidance for NHS organisations and staff • Key question – where will the funding for article processing charges come from ? Will funding need to be diverted from content budgets ? @NHS_Health. Ed. Eng #HEELKS

Scoping existing landscape of repositories across the NHS Very few NHS organisations have repositories: • Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust • The Christie NHS Foundation Trust • Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust • Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust • Ashford & St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust plus other staff publications databases @NHS_Health. Ed. Eng #HEELKS

Collaboration with HE partners • UCLP (UCL Partners) Open Access is a new service, making research publications from UCLP Trusts freely available online • Pilot at Royal Free in 2015; rolling out to six more Trusts during 2016 • Is this a potential way forward for other areas of the country – a collaboration between Trusts and HEIs, coordinated by an Academic Health Science Network ? More details available from uclp-openaccess@ucl. ac. uk Video available at: http: //www. screencast. com/t/mma 4 JFBE @NHS_Health. Ed. Eng #HEELKS

NHS Open Access Repository ? • Should the idea of a single repository for the NHS in England be pursued ? • Or should individual Trust initiatives be encouraged, alongside collaborative ventures ? • Different repositories could be signposted from the proposed Knowledge Hub in due course @NHS_Health. Ed. Eng #HEELKS

NHS Digital Content Store • An initiative at a very early stage of discussions. HEE, NICE and PHE working in collaboration with BL and CLA. • This would build on the work currently taking place across the HEI sector – to create a digital content store of recommended reading, key publications etc. . • CLA Copyright Licence for NHS in England includes allocation of 9, 000 copyright fee paid articles per year. These will be the initial focus for the proposed digital content store • However, this does have the potential to become an open access repository for the NHS in England, complementing existing initiatives @NHS_Health.
