Things in the library 14th March

Things neonatal
NICE Quality Standard: neonatal jaundice
NICE has published a quality standard on neonatal jaundice (QS57) this covers the recognition and management of neonatal jaundice in newborn babies (both term and preterm) from birth to 28 days in primary care (including community care) and secondary care. It does not cover babies with jaundice who need surgery to correct the underlying cause, or the management of conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia in babies. Read it here

Things to read
Public Health England have issued a briefing paper 'Obesity and disability - children and young people' download here. This paper examines the evidence linking obesity and disability in children and young people. It looks at a range of impairments or health conditions associated with disability and explores the main obesity-related chronic health conditions that can develop during childhood and adolescence. It also highlights:

• inequalities experienced by children and young people in relation to obesity and disability
• implications for policy, practice and research
• survey data on obesity and limiting long-term illness or disability

Things we did this week Infobites
On Tuesday I presented a 20 min Infobite session on keeping up-to-date ..if you were not able to attend we have a booklet on the subject which you can pick up in the library or download from our website. The important message is to try different ways of having information 'pushed to you' , filter out what you don't need and use tools that work for you.
The next Infobite is our very popular 'Managing your email' please put the date in your calendar now Tues 8th April 13:00 to 13:30

It's been beautiful spring weather this week so I am looking forward to eating this fabulous green pasta dish - made more healthy by using low-fat mascarpone - it is really tasty and so quick...and very green if you celebrate St Patrick's Day on Monday
