Peer-led information literacy training: a qualitative study of students' experiences of the NICE Evidence search Student Champion Scheme.

Background: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Evidence search Student Champion Scheme aims to enable undergraduate health and social care students to teach their peers skills for information literacy (IL), thereby encouraging future evidence-based practice.

Objectives: To analyse the Student Champions' teaching methods; discover what effects the Scheme had on their IL; and uncover any differences between disciplines.

Methods: Fifty-one reflective reports, written by Student Champions and submitted to NICE, were thematically analysed using a non-linear six-stage model.
