Abstract
Research in the healthcare environment is required to facilitate improvements in clinical practice and patient care. Health and hospital libraries are in a unique position to support capacity building of health professionals wanting to undertake research. This paper presents a case report from a north Australian health service where Library Services initiated and delivered a Research Support Week. Objectives of the week were to raise the profile of Library Services as a source for support with research, highlight new ways to discover published research and to promote a research community. The program included lightning talks, guest speakers, a research poster competition and a Showcase event. Fifteen sessions were delivered to 150 participants, laying the foundation for future opportunities.
