Things in the library 2nd Sept

Things about Journal Club...

(c)James Grellier - derivative of 

original work by VashiDonsk

Journal Club is open to all health professionals and is a fun, informal way of learning to criticise papers and gather evidence to change practice. At each meeting a speaker presents a critical appraisal of a research paper, using CASP, a recognized appraisal tool. 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. The next meeting will be on Wednesday 7 Sep , 5.30 to 6.30 pm in the Education and Skills Centre, F Floor, Stephenson Wing.
Muffins will be provided of course and the paper will be "Arthritis as presenting manifestation of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in children"

*******Presenter needed for 22nd Sept.  Please let Sarah Massey know if you can help*******

Things about flu...

Public Health England has published 'Extension of the influenza immunisation programme to children in England: experiences of using live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) in school age children 2013-16.'  Pilots were set up for school age delivery of the extension of the influenza immunisation programme to children with the aim of assessing implementation issues in a variety of settings to reflect full-scale roll-out as closely as possible.  This report gives an overview of the experiences from the pilot years and also includes information from the national roll out to all children of appropriate age for school years 1 and 2.

'Things' we are sorry to say goodbye to...

Jac has been responsible for much of the NHS Athens administration for the last 3 years. She is leaving her job in the library to have more time for some studies she is starting soon. We will miss her greatly but as she will still be doing her main job in Audiology we hope we will see her around the hospital- thanks Jac and Good Luck - we will miss you!

If you want to make the most of the resources available to you and if you work for the SCH then an OpenAthens account is worth having.  If you follow the instructions here it is very straightforward. You can then access electronic resources (including our collection of e-books). Sign in to search and then browse items or ask us to purchase specific items for prolonged use.

Things to do out and about...

The Wirksworth Festival is starting soon 9-25 September. It is a leading rural arts festival – with art for everyone. Enjoy the work of more than 150 artists plus an inspiring programme of performances and events in this historic market town, right at the heart of the Derbyshire Dales. It is about an hours drive from Sheffield and full details can be found on the website.

Things to eat...

I should have asked Jac to suggest a recipe this week but I forgot...however I know she likes visiting family in Spain so I am fairly certain that these Churros would meet with her approval!
