    • Hi Sara. Wow. Sounds really interesting!

      Can I suggest that you contact your NHS Library & Knowledge Services Team who will be able to research this thoroughly for you.

      I’m not sure which site you are based at but their contact details are available here: https://www.pat.nhs.uk/education-and-research/library-contacts.htm
