Acknowledging the need for continuous improvement to keep health libraries at the forefront of patient care, R ichard B ridgen considers the alternative ways in which library and knowledge services can be provided, from regional hubs to embedded services. R ichard echo's the words of the CILIP Chief Executive Officer that services are likely to be judged on provision rather than breadth of collection and emphasises the need for a properly educated workforce to enable staff to keep up with changes in their professional domains.
