Thing in the library 24 June

Things exciting...please come
The library mini-refurbishment is now complete and we would like to invite you to come and
celebrate our "new look". The barriers and the Victorian banking hall have gone and the library is much more open, light and airy. It is also an Aladdin's cave of services relevant and available to all staff. To meet the library staff and discover what we do, find out what our plans are to help provide care and treatment of the highest standard, admire the view from our windows which could be yours when you use our facilities and find out why Journal Club is nicknamed "Muffin Club"... come along to the Library, F Floor, on Grey Lifts, 11.30am to 2.30pm on Tuesday 28 June.

Things published...
The RCN have published a briefing document 'Inequalities experienced by children across the UK : accessing the right care, at the right time, in the right place' .This publication highlights how the health care inequalities experienced by children are influenced by getting the right care at the right time and in the right place. It sets out the current policy context across the UK, spotlights some key areas and concludes with recommendations on the actions needed by all governments across the UK.


More things about e-books...
Last week I told you about the Oxford online books now available via our library catalogue. You may remember before Christmas we did a trial of the Proquest EBook Central library. We have decided to dedicate a small amount of money to buying some extra e-books. There is a vast collection (20,000) available; you can browse an individual books for 5 mins before needing to request a purchase so if you are just wanting to check some information that may be sufficient time. If you see something that you think would be useful for a longer period then you can request that we purchase it and then you will be able to borrow it for a set period of time. We have limited money so will only be buying e-books that will be of greatest use to as many people as possible. We will reply to your request as soon as possible. Books that we purchase will be added to our normal catalogue but to see the whole collection you will need to login in here with your NHS OpenAthens account.

Things about nursing re-validation...
Revalidation: Nursing Demands Evidence Webinar 21st July 2016, 3-4pm. You may like to attend a short webinar, which looks at the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) themes and demonstrates how The Royal Marsden Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures (9th edition)  supports each theme of the code. The webinar covers individual case studies and scenarios supporting each aspect of the code. Presenters include the editors of The Royal Marsden Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures, sharing their many years of practical experience in nursing, and they are supported by case studies given by librarians working with NHS practitioners. This presentation provides invaluable information and suggestions for all nurses engaged with re-validation.

Something to eat...
Not sure if it will be barbecue weather or not this weekend but this is a slow cooking dish that is fabulous and works for outdoor or indoor eating. We cooked it last weekend and served with cous cous and various salads. Finding unsweetened pomegranate juice rather than the drink was a bit of a challenge (eventually found it in Waitrose) and quite pricey so I used a combination of both which worked well).
