Things in the library 19 Sept

Things back in the library
The library staff were actually all in the library at the same time this week...for the first time in ages due to holidays and other stuff. We can all cover most aspects of the work (just don't ask me to do comb binding..I was traumatised by this in my formative years as a library assistant!) and so the fact that a particular person isn't in on one day shouldn't impinge on the service too much but we do all have specialities and did you know we  have actually catalogued ourselves on our online catalogue..so look us up by searching for 'library staff' and see what we can help you with.

Things not to miss
The first Journal Club of the new season kicks off next Thursday morning 25th Sept at 08.00-09.00

Our Presenter Kavi Aucharaz will be presenting the following paper
'Duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and illness category impact survival and neurologic outcomes for in-hospital cardiac arrests.' download a copy of the paper here

Journal Club is open to all health professionals and is a fun, informal way of learning to criticise papers and gather evidence to change practice.At each meeting a speaker presents a critical appraisal of a research paper, using a recognised appraisal tool such as CASP or the GATE frame.Group members then have an informal discussion to determine whether or not current practice should be altered in light of the presenter's findings
If you do not get a chance to read the paper do not worry just come along.Muffins and drinks are provided at every meeting.

Anthony Lambert has seen active service in the Iran-Iraq conflict, the first Gulf War, Yugoslavia and Bosnia, and recently in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was awarded the OBE for his charitable work to support our injured servicemen.
Andy Grant, a former Royal Marine Commando, was critically injured in Afghanistan by two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and after many months treatment and rehabilitation had to make the life changing decision to have his leg amputated below the knee. He spends his time travelling the country talking about his life beyond injury and how he continues to overcome adversity.
This lecture completes the Heritage Medical Exhibition series dealing with the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield and brings us up to date with the advances in the treatment of the severely wounded.

Things to eat
To either cheer you up or to celebrate ....depending on your view point... try this traditional Scottish dessert - summer raspberries folded into cream flavoured with honey, whisky and toasted oatmeal. I think thick Greek yogurt would work too to make it more healthy.
