Things in the library 6 June

Things happening
The library will be open between 10:30 and 15:30 tomorrow Sat 7 June as part of the recruitment day. You are welcome to come in to use the library as normal during this time if you wish.

Infobites on Tuesday 10 June at 13:00 - how to access full text articles - 20 min session with cakes - all welcome. If you don't understand how to get full text articles and why it sometimes seems so difficult this is the session for you.

Advanced warning that the library will be closed on Tuesday 17 June all day for the library staff annual away day where we will be planning services for the next year. Apologies for any inconvenience - books may be returned in the book-drop box outside the library.

Things to read
Health Education England have published their strategic framework for 2014-2029 Framework 15 covering 'Global drivers of change', 'People and patients of the future', Future workforce' and 'Strategic response'. This is all about improving the quality of care for patients by ensuring there are enough staff with the right skills and attitudes. Report here



Things to use
A Patient and Family-Centred Care toolkit has been produced by the King's Fund. The toolkit is a simple, step-by-step method for understanding what a care experience is like, what needs to change, and which small improvements can make a big difference to patients, families and staff alike. Across the country teams have implemented the approach to improve services, ranging from paediatric accident and emergency to the care of frail older people, with measurable results. Two of the case studies follow the patient experience of children - one with asthma and one with acute abdominal pain. Full details here

Things smelly

Keeping on the smelly theme...I love this blue cheese pasta
