Library Knowledge Services (North)

Horizon Scanning

The Horizon Scanning Bulletins support the commissioning process and service redesign, bringing together new and emerging information on:

  • best practice
  • innovation
  • future risk factors

The service provides an easily digestible monthly email update of key and relevant information and examples of new or developing services in other NHS organisations, and transferable examples from other sectors.

The Bulletins are produced by NHS Librarians across the North West and many are quality-assured by experts in the field to ensure high quality information.

As service redesign areas change, suitable bulletin topics will of course change. The list below gives detail of bulletins currently being produced. Librarians from LIHNN who wish to start producing a bulletin on an appropriate topic are asked to liaise with LIHNN colleagues to ensure topic coverage is appropriate.


There are currently several bulletins available and by clicking on the name of the bulletin in the list below you can visit the individual bulletin:
