Things in the library 20th Jan

Things to lift the January gloom
We have an excellent selection of Leisure Reading in the library - many  of them chosen as Mood Boosting books. Search here for 'Leisure'. There was also an interesting article in the Guardian online yesterday with suggestions for books for teens to read to pick you up when you feel down.


Things about babies
Recent research at University of Sheffield shows
  • Babies learn best when they are sleepy
  • Daytime naps of 30 minutes or more help infants to retain and remember new behaviours
  • Bedtime stories are invaluable for a child’s development 

Things about services
CCG learning network provides online support, resources and information for proposed clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). This includes the Model Specification for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services which can be read here 
Skills for health has launched the revised National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Children & Young People’s Health Services.



Things new from NICE
A new guideline published this month on Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease: recognition, diagnosis and management in children and young people. resources relating to this guideline can be accessed here. One of our consultant paediatric gastroenterologists,  Mike Thomson, was a member of the guideline development group.

Things behind the news 
Health News shock horror....do you want to check out the truth behind the latest health 'news' then this is the place to go - Behind the Headlines 
Remember that the library staff can help you find clinical evidence to support you in your work, see more about the range of our services here




Things creative..ish..
I decided to have a go at book folding last week - here is my first attempt - it may have a future life as next year's Christmas decorations! Please don't do this to your library books.
I used an old copy of the BNF which has to be discarded when the new one arrives. If you always want to be sure of accessing the BNF or BNF for Children then you can download an app for your phone/tablet - you need to have a current NHS Open Athens account to access the information. If you don't yet have an Athens accout which also gives you access to a variety of electronic resources then find out more and apply here.



Things (people) in the library
Chocolate and pumpkin seed biscuits.On a Tuesday or Thursday morning you may find someone sat at Sarah's desk who isn't Sarah...Jac works here a few hours each work processing Open Athens applications but at other times you will find her in Audiology. She has suggested this week's recipe Chocolate and pumpkin seed biscuits and tells us the Audiology team like her biscuits..we have noted the fact that she hasn't made biscuits for us ....but are trying not to feel hurt!
