Coffee morning Monday 21 December in the library...10:30 - 12:00 ...cakes...drop in session to get help with anything information or library related...cake...and turn your paper copy of the BNF 2015-16 into a paper Christmas tree or angel..if you haven't already thrown it away. It has so many inaccuracies that you should be using the online version.

Things going soon...e-books last chance
Some specialities are using our e-books well and giving us positive feedback. From others we have only tumbleweed....so before the end of the trial (31st Dec) please try the system out and tell us what you think. You will need to sign in with your NHS Open Athens account.

Things about non-specialist children's care
This guidance, produced by the Children’s Surgical Forum (CSF) – which is comprised of surgeons, anaesthetists, other medical specialists and lay representatives – combines a large number of standards and guidelines provided by key stakeholders involved in surgical care of children and young people (CAYP) and is intended to improve emergency surgical care for children and young people in all parts of the UK.
Topics covered include: pre-hospital care, networks, locally delivered care, collaboration between paediatric and surgical services, transfers, education and training, and patients and their families.
The publication will be of most interest to clinicians and service managers in hospitals that admit children and young people (both specialist and non specialist), and network leads and commissioners with particular responsibility for the care of CAYP.

Things about opening hours
If you stand outside the library on Tuesday & Wednesday 22nd & 23rd December you are likely to see clouds of dust from under the door, hear creaking trolleys (and library staff) and the occasional avalanche of books...yes we are closed for the annual stocktaking ritual - also known as pre-Christmas library workout. Entertaining as this spectacle might be sadly we are closed to visitors on those days.
