Full details of the final theme for Health Information Week #HIW2022 are now available. Health Education England (NHS) and The Reading Agency have worked in partnership to bring together a new list entitled ‘Your Health Collection’, to support users of health and prison libraries to understand and manage their health. The collection of 10 books and 30 digital resources were chosen by those working in healthcare, health information and knowledge and library specialists working in the NHS, in prisons, in public health and in Higher Education. The resources chosen are accessible, inclusive and reflect the diversity of society.

A fantastic, accessible collection of trusted health resources. Great to see such a diverse range curated to support people in managing their health. It’s a reminder of the value of seeking knowledge and healing, just as Surah Yasin encourages comfort, hope, and reflection during times of need.
What a wonderful and inclusive initiative! 💚 Health Information Week #HIW2022 truly empowers people to take control of their wellbeing with trusted and accessible resources. It’s beautiful to see such collaboration between health professionals, educators, and the community. Just like how we share birthday wishes for friends to spread love and positivity, sharing valuable health knowledge is another way to show we care — because good health is the best gift we can give one another.
One of the Quran's most exquisite and poignant passages is Surah Maryam. In addition to recounting the birth of Prophet Isa (AS) and the miraculous tale of Maryam (AS), it emphasises the concepts of patience, mercy, and Allah's omnipotence. In difficult circumstances, Surah Maryam serves as a reminder of the value of having faith and confidence in Allah. It is a very potent surah that fortifies the heart and broadens our spiritual horizons.
