NEXT MEETING - Audience needed! Thurs 20th Oct 8am - 9am
Presenter:Sam Armitage Location: Education and Skills Centre, F Floor
Paper: Meta-analysis of family-centred helpgiving practices research
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 recognised 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. Muffins: Of course!Things to give your feed back on...
Journal Club needs to know what you think of it, can contribute to it and want from it; also when would be the best times to meet - have your say now
Things about e-learning...
NICE Guidance - Evidence into Practice is an e-learning resource for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), primarily aimed at medical undergraduates. The e-learning offers practical advice about how to use evidence based medicine in daily practice. The information has been adapted from NICE Guidance and illustrates application of the guidance with practical examples.Eight sessions of e-learning cover the following four topics:
- Evidence-based medicine
- Principles of decision making in healthcare
- Changing clinical practice
- Audit and feedback
The NICE Guidance Programme is also available to NHS healthcare staff via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). Accessing this e-Learning via ESR means that your completions will transfer with you throughout your NHS career. Find out more
Things about attachment...
NICE has published a quality standard Children’s attachment (QS133). This document covers the identification, assessment and treatment of attachment difficulties. It focuses on children and young people up to age 18 who are on the edge of care (those considered to be at high risk of going into care); looked after by local authorities in foster homes (including kinship foster care); in special guardianship; adopted from care and in residential units and other accommodation.
Things about child protection services...
In the news this week is the National Audit Office report on Children in need of help or protection.This report examines the Department for Education’s progress in improving the system to help and protect children.
Things about predatory journals...
A recent article in Journal of Nursing Scholarship aimed to identify predatory journals in nursing, describe their characteristics and editorial standards, and document experiences of authors, peer reviewers, and editors affiliated with these journals. This prompted me to also direct you to this article in Western Journal of Emergency Medicine. So how do you decide if an Open Access journal is a legitimate place to publish or not? Using this website Think Check Submit might give you some useful pointers. Prof. Jeffrey Beall, University of Colorada Denver librarian, maintains a list of potential predatory publishers and stand alone journals. Follow the link to check if a publisher or journal has been flagged as possibly predatory.
Things dusty...
For many years our bound journal volumes have not had a dust - though we do the rest of the books every year when we stocktake. From next week there will be some occasions when cleaners are in the library taking volumes off the shelves and cleaning the books and the shelves. We hope to keep disruption to a minimum but please bear with us whilst we make ourselves sparkingly clean!
Things Spanish...
I am off for the weekend to celebrate my 60th birthday in Barcelona so thought I would get into the mood by featuring these tapas recipes.... really looking forward to all the Gaudi architecture!
