Things Elfish
Have you come across The National Elf Service? it is owned and managed by Minervation Ltd; an Oxford University spin-out company founded by information scientists Douglas Badenoch and André Tomlin, who have been building evidence-based healthcare websites since the early 1990s. It aims to "help you engage with the best evidence without bias, misinformation or spin - just what you need"

Nice are currently inviting comments on their draft quality standard for children and young people - closing date 21 Sept 2015.
Things wintry (sorry)
Nice published a new guideline in May on Bronchiolitis in children
I've been by myself all this week and one thing that has kept me busy is our e-prompt current awareness service. This has been running for over 4 years and has over 200 subscribers both from within SCH Trust and further afield. We recently learnt that one of the components we use 'behind the scenes' to deliver this service (Yahoo Pipes) is being discontinued from 31 August. We have found a replacement (Feed Informer) and so this week I have transferred all our feeds over to the new service. If you haven't yet tried out e-prompt do so here. Remember that e-prompt notifies you about new publications but does not automatically give you access to full text. To access full text please contact your workplace Health Care / Hospital library for help and advice (that's us if you work at SCH).
Things for the Bank Holiday
I recently had a trip down to Kent/Sussex for a weekend (can thoroughly recommend a visit to the De La Warr Pavilion at Bexhill on Sea) and whilst in the area took the opportunity to play Pooh Sticks at the original bridge. This week Visit England issued a map of other good Pooh Stick locations and someone with too much time on their hands (in my humble opinion) came up with the formula for picking a good stick. So if you fancy a trip out over the weekend take a look at these locations.
This is me wondering if my stick has sunk
So after that there can really be only one recipe...Honeycomb.... which would have saved Winnie-the-Pooh a lot of time and trouble if only he had known about it! Recipe here and video to help with the technique.
Have a good Bank Holiday
- sorry if you are working!
Any true Winnie the Pooh fan would know the best size and weight of stick to use in PoohSticks with their knowledge of what (who) came out from under the bridge first!
ReplyDeleteIndeed - although the large number of twigs in the river under the bridge probably mean Eeyore could have walked through! G
