Elizabeth Gillen

My background is in Information Management and my roles within Cardiff University are split between the Library Service as a subject librarian and the School of Healthcare Sciences as an Information Specialist for the Wales Centre for Evidence Based Care.

In May 2021, along with five other centres across Wales, the Wales Centre For Evidence Based Care were contracted by the Wales COVID-19 Evidence Centre (https://healthandcareresearchwales.org/about-research-community/wales-covid-19-evidence-centre) to provide 50 rapid reviews per year answering priority questions for policy and practice in Wales.  I am the information specialist on the WCEBC team.

My interests lie in Information Management, Evidence synthesis and knowledge mobilisation, supporting the process of Evidence Based Healthcare.  In both roles I assist in the locating and disseminating of evidence to help improve health service delivery.
