CHS Library and Multimedia supports Canberra Health Services and ACT Health staff in providing evidence-based healthcare and research development at a patient and population health level. Services had been developed in consultation with our clients but further promotion and advocacy was required to entice people into our physical and virtual space.
👉 This is our story of how we grew our voice within our organisation, and the positive outcomes (so far) from this outreach.
