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 clubJournal 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...
