Things in the library 16 Sept 2016

Things by the seaside...

@janetsampson33

Sarah has been attending the Heath Libraries Group conference at Scarborough this week. I am trying to follow on Twitter (#HLG2016) and have picked up some good quotes:
"Health libs [librarians] have skills to enable people to gain insight, take control & make informed decisions"

"Health librarians: from bedside to boardroom, we can support quality & development in all areas of #nhs health care & management"

"Literature searches can combat research waste and save money!"

You might be surprised what we can help with so don't be afraid to ask - check out our  website or call in to see us - though I can't promise there will be rock available!

Things about looked after children...
The Department of Health and Department of Education have published Mental health and wellbeing of looked-after children: Government response to the Committee’s Fourth Report of Session 2015-16. This government response to the Education Committee report on the mental health and wellbeing of looked-after children addresses the committee’s recommendations and conclusions.

Things about sepsis...





The RCGP have launched a sepsis toolkit which provides a collection of tools, knowledge, and current guidance to 
support the identifying and appropriate management of patients with sepsis. The toolkit is aimed at GPs and healthcare professionals assessing people in the community with acute infection. The resources also include information for patients and those close to them to look for when concerned about a sudden deterioration in a person’s health in the presence of infection.

Things about FGM...
The House of Commons Home Affairs select committee has published Female genital mutilation: abuse unchecked. The Committee reported that it was "beyond belief" that thirty years after female genital mutilation (FGM) was made illegal in the UK there has been not one successful prosecution. The Committee were also concerned by reports that some clinicians are ignoring the duty on frontline healthcare professionals, social care workers and teachers to record data on FGM incidence, and repeat’s its call for the Government to introduce stronger sanctions for failing to meet the mandatory reporting responsibility.

Things a bit different next week...
Sarah will be on her own all next week so the library will be closing at 17:00 each day...sorry for any inconvenience but don't forget there is a book drop box outside the library if you have items to return when we are closed.

Things doubled up...
For some time we have been able to work with two screens on our own computers  (if you have never tried it do..it saves so much time!) and we are now pleased to let you know that we have two screens available on two of our NHS computers in the library.




Things from the seaside...
If mention of Scarborough has made you think of fish & chips then why not try this healthier version of a favourite Friday night treat.
