Welcome to your resource area
Now you’ve set up your library, we want to help you make the most of this innovative new resource.
Use this resource area to discover how to personalise, share and promote the video library to your service users.
This will help make sure they use the library effectively as a tool to build their confidence, manage conditions or medications and go to your organisation for support, if needed.
