Things we have done
If you missed Sarah on Tuesday she was off on her first-aid refresher course.She has been a first aider for many years and this was the annual update to her 3 year training - she managed to coincide with a lady from Becton doing the same course and so was able to spread news of the library. For those of you not based at Western Bank we are still your library and can provide most services remotely see here

Things published

Implementation things 
NICE have a range of educational tools for healthcare professionals. On-line, interactive and free. See the range here and a specific one you might be interested in is:
Managing overweight and obesity among children and young people: costing report - read here
NICE have published a costing report and template to estimate the financial impact to the NHS of implementing the guidance in England. The costing work focuses on the recommendations that require the most resources to implement or will generate the most savings. The cost and activity assessments are estimates based on a number of assumptions. These assessments provide an indication of the likely impact and are not absolute figures. The costing template can be used by health communities to assess the local impact of implementing the recommendations, based on the local population. The national assumptions used in the template can be altered to reflect local circumstances.
