Abstract

The article focuses on the accreditation scheme for health library services in England and Wales. It was determined that the use of an accreditation scheme for health library services can be an effective method to develop positive changes that improve access to the knowledge domain of health care for health care personnel. Organizations which are in charge in the library services for the National Health Service (NHS) should also adopt or maintain its use. However, in the survey on the assessment accreditation of NHS library services, it showed at least 15 percent positive perceptions for the accreditation.
