Critical Appraisal Course
This excellent course will be running on 2 July 9.30 - 13:00  in Education and Skills Centre, F Floor Stephenson Wing for SCH staff. We are often asked for help on this topic and previous attendees speak highly of it. Sadly the June course was cancelled due to lack of participants.  This course needs 6 people in order to go ahead.If you need to learn how to read journal articles and draw conclusions about whether to use the evidence in your practice this course is for you. The course is a mixture of taught and practical sessions including an introduction to statistics.
Book Sale
We know have a large number of books for sale - mostly ones we have replaced with older editions. Please ask at the library counter if you wish to see them and note we cannot sell books within 30 mins of closing time.

Summer picnic?

This brief spell of nice weather feels like summer at last - although the forecast for the weekend is not so good. If forced to stay indoors I can recommend making these Raspberry & pine nut bars..and they must be healthy as they have fresh fruit and porridge oats in them..yes?
