Things in the library 9 Sept 2016

Things (us) are now mobile...
No... not the library staff on roller blades...we are very excited to be able to tell you that there is now an App (Android and iphone) for our library system which will enable you to be able to renew, reserve and manage your account from your mobile device with your library ticket number and PIN (if you don't have one email the library to request). We and some of our readers have been involved in the trialling and testing over the past few months but now you can all have access to it.
Go to your App store and search for MyCirqa - it's an owl icon. When it loads search for your library by starting to type Sheffield, or NHS or Illingworth and select us the list. Enter your library/ucard ticket number followed by your PIN and I suggest ticking the 'remember me' box. Please contact us if you have any queries.  We are ridiculously excited - and really should get out more!

Things about diabetes...
NICE quality standard published in July in case you missed it 'Diabetes in children and young people'. This quality standard covers the diagnosis and management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes in children and young people aged under 18. This quality standard will not cover care for children and young people with other forms of diabetes mellitus (such as monogenic diabetes or cystic fibrosis-related diabetes).

Things from Cochrane...
Two recent reviews that may be of interest 'Codeine versus placebo for chronic cough in children' and 'Central venous catheter removal for adults and children suffering from bloodstream infections caused by Candida species.'

Things about Information technology in NHS...
The Department of health has published 'Making IT Work: Harnessing the Power of Health
Information Technology to Improve Care in England' a report of the National Advisory Group on Health Information Technology in England.  In order for the NHS to continue to provide a high level of healthcare at an affordable cost, it simply must modernise and transform. This transformation will involve enormous changes in culture, structure, governance, workforce, and training.  But none of the changes are likely to be as sweeping, as important, or as challenging as creating a fully digitised NHS. This report details the national advisory group’s overall findings and principles and gives ten implementation recommendations.

Things about sepsis...
A NICE bite which is a summary of prescribing recommendations from NICE guidance. This guideline covers recognition, diagnosis and early management of sepsis for all populations. Sections covered include: assessment and referral, people most vulnerable to sepsis, face to face assessment, treatment and management, antibiotic treatment, intravenous fluids, information and support, information at discharge, training and education.

Things to explore this weekend...
Every September some 40,000 volunteers across England organise 5,000 events to celebrate our fantastic history, architecture and culture. It's your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – all of which are FREE to explore. Check out what is happening locally.

Things for the lactose intolerant and everyone else too...
I was cooking for someone last weekend who has to avoid milk products and made this dessert  'Creamy rice with double apricots' which was really simple and everyone loved.
