Meet the team

Your library and knowledge service team are:

Catherine Micklethwaite – Library & Knowledge Services Manager I manage the Library & Knowledge Services team at TSDFT. I am passionate about the role of technology within libraries. I lead on the strategic management of the regional library management system and head up the cataloguing group, as well as work with NHSE on the development of the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub. If I’m not out horse riding, I’ll be curled up in a corner with a good book with my cat on my lap or cooking.


Liz Saward – Clinical Librarian I am responsible for our evidence search service and oversee the training that we offer. I sing regularly in choirs (including the hospital choir) and enjoy walking, gardens, the arts, comedy and cooking (and eating!).


Lucy Farnsworth – Specialist Librarian I maintain the library’s website, carry out evidence searches and some training sessions. I also oversee the regional library catalogue. In my free time I enjoy crafting, baking, drinking coffee and watching films of questionable quality!


Isobel Haggett – Trainee Library Assistant I support people using the library by being first point of contact at the helpdesk, answering queries and helping people use library resources. In my free time I enjoy reading, stitching, baking and going to the theatre.
