Things in the library 27 November

Things about attachment
New NICE guideline covers the identification, assessment and treatment of attachment difficulties in children and young people up to age 18 who are adopted from care, in special guardianship, looked after by local authorities in foster homes (including kinship foster care), residential units and other accommodation, or on the edge of care. It aims to address the many emotional and psychological needs of children and young people in these situations, including those resulting from maltreatment.

Things about Lower Respiratory Tract Illnesses and wheezing 
An article ( Early Administration of Azithromycin and Prevention of Severe Lower Respiratory Tract Illnesses in Preschool Children With a History of Such Illnesses
A Randomized Clinical Trial) and an editorial (Individual Benefit vs Societal Effect of Antibiotic Prescribing for Preschool Children With Recurrent Wheeze) were published in JAMA  recently. JAMA. 2015;314(19). If you have a MUSE login from University of Sheffield you can access the full text, however if you have an NHS Athens account you will have to wait for the one month embargo to expire (or ask us to obtain them for you from another library). If you don't have a University MUSE login and want to know if you are eligible then check out this information.

Things not to forget 
Our next InfoBites session is on using Evernote...to remember everything! Tuesday 8th December at 13:00 - 13:20 in Illingworth Library. As always bring your lunch or enjoy our cakey bites - you can buy a hot drink whilst you are here too if you wish.

Things that look a bit different


The observant amongst you will have noticed our new library logo which you will see replacing our old purple square and wordcloud images on various social media, publications and posters. We hope it conveys to you that the library is about coming to where you need us both physically - such as by our clinical support for departments/sites and also remotely via a variety of social media, electronic resources, email etc. We try to provide the services you need where and when you need them - just ask us.



Things to bake

And to end what better than a muffin recipe these Fruitburst ones look tempting...and they have fruit in so must be good for you..???

Things in the library 21 Nov 2015

Things excitingly electronic...
We are pleased to say that we have a trial of e-books now available to SCH users via your NHS Open Athens login. These will be available until the end of December from this link. You have access to over 44,000 books mostly on Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Psychology and Anatomy & Physiology.
Please try them out, tell us what you think...if nobody uses them or gives us any feedback then we will assume no-one is interested in us buying them. Please remember that this is a trial so the book selection and the length of time you can view the books are not as they would be if we were setting this up permanently. If you have any comments good or bad please let us know. If you want to access these and don't have an NHS Open Athens account then see the information here.

Things to come along to next week...Journal club
Journal club is an enjoyable event to come along to in the Clinical Skills area of F Floor, eat muffins and discuss a paper. The next meeting is Thursday 26 November 8.00 - 9.00 am where the paper being discussed is 'Oxygen saturation targets in infants with bronchiolitis
(BIDS): a double-blind, randomised, equivalence trial'. Lancet 2015; 386: 1041–48

Things to colour...
You may well have seen a large number of colouring in books for adults in the shops which are being promoted as an aid to mindfulness, stress relieving and creative thinking. Whilst bearing in mind that many of the claims come from the publishers of the books (!) there are certainly many people who find colouring relaxing and a good opportunity to let the mind 'switch off'. As a support to workplace well-being, from Monday, we will have colouring sheets and crayons available free to use in the library...and if your creation is half-finished we will keep it for you until next-time. Come and try it out.

Things about the Millenium Cohort...
 "Children of the New Century: Mental health findings from the Millennium Cohort Study" looks at the mental health of 11-year-old children living in the UK. The report finds that about one in ten (10.3 per cent) 11-year-olds in the UK has a mental health problem according to parents - or eight percent as reported by teachers, with symptoms including hyperactivity, conduct problems and peer problems as well as emotional problems. The MCS is a longitudinal study following a large sample of children born in the UK at the start of the 21st century

Things fading away...

In order to support a friend who is trying to lose weight I am accompanying her on the 5:2 diet (the Fast diet) for a few weeks. Whether or not you are dieting this is a tasty low calorie recipe that we tried out a couple of weeks ago - Turkish one-pan eggs & peppers.


...and for the non-fasting days
I'm looking forward to trying this 'Pork curry with green chillies and tamarind' at the weekend...particularly as it will be cooked by someone else! Not using quite so many chillies though...

Things in the library 13th Nov

Things about BNF for children
Concerns have been raised as it has come to light that there are a significant number of errors contained in the recently issued BNF-c 2015/16 books. Sheffield Children's hospital is part of a nationally co-ordinated response to the editors regarding these issues. Whilst awaiting national guidance SCH staff are directed to use the more regularly updated electronic version in preference. It is available on SCH intranet and internet however to access via the mobile app you need to use your NHS Open Athens login. Please ask the library if you need help with this.


Things about mental health outcomes for children
The King's Fund and Young Minds ran an event in October on "Improving mental health outcomes for children and young people: How do we really transform services?" You can now see on-line the speeches and breakout sessions: Pathways Project - delivering interventions to young adults involved with the criminal justice system; Exploring some of the opportunities and challenges within transformation planning and implementation; Update on Tier 4; Implementing a liaison model; Case study- implementing the recommendations of the Tier 4 review; Reducing waiting times.

Things about signs
As part of a hospital project to improve signage we now have a much clearer and obvious entrance - so when you come out of the lifts of F Floor in Stephenson Wing and turn left this is what you will see. We are also revamping our library logo and leaflets - our new logo is already starting to appear. More about this in a future blog.
Things closed ....US 
Tuesday 17th November the library will be closed all day. The whole team will be attending a Yorkshire & Humberside Library & Knowledge Services networking event in Leeds. Sorry we won't be around but if you need to return books they can be left in the book drop box outside the library. Any email/messages we will deal with on Wednesday.

Things purple
Sheffield will go purple once again this year to show its support for World Prematurity Day on November 17. Barkers Pool, along with the lights and fountains of the Peace Garden, will join other monuments around the world - including the Eiffel Tower and Niagara Falls - as they light up purple next Tuesday, to raise awareness of preterm birth. At the Peace Gardens between 16:00 and 18:00 the lights will be turned to purple. The celebrations are going to be attended by the Frozen Princesses and there will be performances from Voices of Jessop Wing. National Grid have also got involved this year and will be lighting up their Sheffield office buildings purple on the day.

Things about being human
The University of Sheffield has several events aimed particularly at children & young people as part of the Being Human Festival. This weekend there are workshops on Stained glass, animation & poetry and next week Cyber-worlds and robots. Events for adults too such as 'Intoxicants in the Sheffield Tap' 19th Nov a night in the pub with Dr Angela McShane (V&A) and Lucie Skeaping, musician and presenter of Radio 3’s Early Music Show, to explore drinking in history and song from the 16th-19th centuries. Charge your glasses ready for an evening of ballads and insight into past drinking cultures.



Things about a phantom noise in Stephenson wing
All this week the library staff have been hearing a noise which sounds like a washing machine starting its spin cycle...regularly...every few minutes...do let us know if you know what it is. If anyone has started taking in laundry and is also offering an ironing service we would love to know!

Things to relish
Henderson's Relish, known locally as Hendo's, is the essence of Sheffield. Join Sheffield University Management School to hear all about the fascinating journey of this iconic Sheffield brand from 1882 to present day. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session. Henry Henderson first began manufacturing his own special type of sauce back in the latter part of the 19th century. Originally manufactured at Broad Lane in Sheffield, Henderson's Relish is still being made and was in uninterrupted production within half a mile of the site from which the first bottle was filled, until the move to a new food production factory in 2013.

Things to make
Sarah can recommend this vegetarian recipe that she will be making again this weekend. Veggie spiral pie with spiced tomato sauce & chopped salad.  Anything containing spinach and feta cheese sounds good to me! Wonder if Henderson's Relish goes with that?!!
