Things in the library 6th May

Things missing...
Hi - sorry our blog was missing last week..I had a few days in London and when we are short-staffed something has to fall by the wayside. Incidentally I can thoroughly recommend the Geffrye Museum for something different to do in London- social history of houses and town gardens - beautiful little free museum with activities for all ages.

Things about transition services...

Things about nursing revalidation...
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has published an update from the first round of nurse revalidation which started in April 2016.  Latest figures show that 90.48 per cent of nurses and midwives who were due to revalidate, have successfully done so and renewed their registration with the NMC.


New book this week...
The publisher states: "Nurses work in complex situations with daily challenges, where the needs of each patient represent unique demands. Action research helps nurses to investigate their practices as reflective practitioners, allowing them to ask ‘What is going on? How do we understand the existing situation? How do we improve it?’  This book supports nurses in investigating their own professional practices in order to develop new insights and approaches. This book is intended for undergraduate student nurses, qualified practising nurses in clinical settings who may or may not be engaged in formal professional education courses and nurse educators and managers." The book is currently displayed on the new book stand in the entrance to the library and then will be shelved at WY20.5 (M) - it is available for loan now.

Something summery...
Anything with feta cheese gets my vote and with the mint growing well in my garden I shall be making this 'Minty carrot, pistachio & feta salad' over the weekend...hope the sun stays out.
