Things in the library 26 Feb

Things out and about...
You might see me wandering around the outer reaches of the hospital in the next couple of weeks getting lost!  In order to make sure that the management and administration of the hospital knows about the services the library can offer Sarah and myself are meeting members of the Trust's Executive Group to find out what their information needs are and how we might be able to help. One service we offer for all specialties, including health administration, is our e-prompt current awareness service which will keep you up-to-date with recent publications.

More about leadership...

The King's Fund have just announced the programme for their Sixth annual leadership & management summit on 25th May 2016. This year’s summit will explore the importance of developing and implementing a quality improvement strategy for the NHS. With the NHS in England facing the immense challenge of bringing about improvements in patient care at a time of growing financial and workload pressures, the summit will address how to design and redesign work processes and systems that deliver health care with better outcomes and lower cost.
The conference sessions will examine the importance of involving clinicians in decision-making and leadership in order to bring about long-term, sustainable changes in care and get the best value for every pound spent. Throughout the day, there will be debate on how best to ensure NHS staff are equipped with the skills needed to bring about changes in care, directly and constantly supported by leaders at all levels.
