Things about brain tumours in children...
The Royal College of GPs has launched the Brain Tumours in Children toolkit. This toolkit, created in partnership with national awareness campaign HeadSmart, brings together a range of reliable and user-friendly resources including detailed decision support tools for clinicians. It is primarily aimed at healthcare professionals but also contains information and sources of support for patients and carers.

Things about sexual exploitation...
The University of York and Basis Yorkshire have worked with young women from Basis Yorkshire and a young man from the BLAST Project to create “Breaking Through – Moving on from child sexual exploitation” , a new set of resources about child sexual exploitation (CSE). These include an animation of young people talking about their experiences of getting involved in CSE and moving on from it, a booklet with short quotes from their stories and all the stories in full.

Things available on e-learning ...
Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare (HEE e-LfH) programme and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) have developed an e-learning resource focusing on NICE Guidance. The e-learning offers practical advice about how to use evidence based medicine in daily practice. The e-learning resource includes content that has been adapted from NICE guidelines and illustrates application of the guidance using practical examples. Learners will be able to plan and record their learning and return to any unfinished sessions. The sessions may also help learners meet their CPD/CME needs.

There are eight sessions of e-learning that cover:
* Evidence-based medicine
* Principles of decision making in healthcare
* Changing clinical practice
* Audit and feedback.
* The e-learning will help users to:
* Follow the guidance for evidence-based medicine
* Make decisions in an evidence-based and fair way
* Understand, identify and overcome barriers to change
* Conduct an audit and provide feedback

Things volcanic...
We have finally had a communication from our travelling librarian.
"Have just got back from our 4 day acclimatisation hike. Walk went through villages, forest, grass lands and high plains and the scenery was amazing. The place is so vast pictures do not do it justice. Campsites had stunning views. Climbed one volcano yesterday, have another tomorrow, then another on Sunday"


Things (not guinea pigs) to eat... 
This looks like a quick and warming bowl of food for the weekend

Jerk prawn & coconut rice.
