Things changing their time...
The Reading Group, which continues to meet online every month, is changing the meeting time to 18:30 - 19:30 if this means you might now be able to join us then please email the library to ask to be put on the mailing list for details. Our next meeting is Oct 7th - chatting about 'The versions of us' by Laura Barnett.
Things about child well-being...
UNICEF have released a report 'Worlds of Influence Understanding What Shapes Child Well-being in Rich Countries'. A new look at children from the world’s richest countries offers a mixed picture of their health, skills and happiness. For far too many, issues such as poverty, exclusion and pollution threaten their mental well-being, physical health and opportunities to develop skills. Even countries with good social, economic and environmental conditions are a long way from meeting the targets set in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Focused and accelerated action is needed if these goals are to be met. The report looks at what makes a 'good' childhood in terms of mental and physical health and skills for life.
Things about digital technology...
A briefing has been published from the Nuffield Trust on the use of digital technology in the NHS during COVID-19. The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in the adoption of digital technology in the NHS and changes to the way services are delivered at an incredible pace. So as the health service works hard to get back to something like normality, are all the elements of this sea change in digital practice positive, or do some adaptations need further scrutiny before they become more deeply embedded?
Things about sport..health..technology...autism...
Whilst driving to the Northern General this week (to return some items borrowed from their Heritage Centre) I caught this programme on BBC Radio 4 which was really interesting. Steve Haake, Professor of Sports Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University, and Jim al-Khalili discussed how technology transforms sport and the health benefits of Parkrun in the series the Life Scientific. I often find these short programmes fascinating - the previous one was a discussion with Professor Francesca Happé about her research into the the abilities and assets of people with autism and how she recognised autism in women.
Things about menopause...
Requested by a group in SCH who have been meeting online to chat about the menopause, we have added this book to our Leisure Reading collection recently. If you wish to reserve or request it you can do so via our library catalogue.
