Things in the library 11 March

Things starry...


The Library Team came runners up in the Trust Star Awards for Best Non-Clinical Support Service.


We would like to thank all those who nominated us and for the overwhelming reaction we received from staff at the event when our award was announced




Things about transition...
New guidance from NICE – the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence – has been developed to improve the support for thousands of young people receiving health or social care as they become adults. An independent committee of sector experts, young people and carers was brought together to develop the new guideline. Their review of current service provision found that support for young people moving from Children’s to Adults’ services can often be patchy and inconsistent. The guideline aims to address this with a set of overarching principles for leaders, managers and practitioners to use in the design and delivery of services for young people.

Things about education and training...
Improving Safety through Education and Training is the first report to focus on how education and training interventions can actively improve the safety of patients.The independent report by the Commission on Education and Training for Patient Safety – supported by academic partner Imperial College – sets out the future of education and training for patient safety in the NHS over the next 10 years, making 12 recommendations to Health Education England (HEE) and the wider system.

Journal club is open to all health professionals and is a fun, informal way of learning to criticize papers and gather evidence to change practice. At each meeting a speaker presents a critical appraisal of a research paper, using a recognised appraisal tool such as CASP or the GATE frame. Group members then have an informal discussion to determine whether or not current practice should be altered in light of the presenter's findings.If you do not get a chance to read the paper do not worry just come along.
