We have over 300 people in the trust who receive it every week, if you have colleagues who would like to receive it please ask them to register with the library and then they can opt in to a notification whenever it is published.
Things about Covid-19...
Tens of thousands of people who are suffering long-term effects of coronavirus will benefit from an on-demand recovery service. The new ‘Your COVID Recovery’ service forms part of NHS plans to expand access to COVID-19 rehabilitation treatments for those who have survived the virus but still have problems with breathing, mental health problems or other complications. Nurses and physiotherapists will be on hand to reply to patients’ needs either online or over the phone as part of the service.
Things about early years...
Nesta has published a blog and report discussing the role parents play in influencing early years development. The blog highlights Nesta’s work with family support organisations over the past five years that harness the power of parents and their communities to support families, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Things about flu...
Information and promotional resources to support the annual flu vaccination programme for children are available in a variety of languages.
Things about pain...
A study in Acta Paediatrica aimed to look at the experience of pain in 10-12-year-old children. Their interviews with children led them to conclude that children made distinctions between physical pain and emotional pain. Bullying, noisy school environments, grief and remorse were reported to be linked with headaches, stomachache, and heartache.
Things that are happy accidents...
From the colour purple to play-doh via velcro there is a long history of accidental inventions that have changed the way we live - here is a nice selection of them.
Things to read...
The next online meeting of Reading Group will be on Wednesday, 2 September at 18:15 the book we will be talking about is 'When I had a little sister' Cathy Simpson's memoir recants details of her sister's life and mental illness. Tricia, the youngest of three sisters born to a farming family in Lancashire, suffered from mental health problems for over 30 years. Simpson examines their shared childhood growing up in a "family who never spoke" and the implications of this on her sister's and her own depression. We follow Tricia's ups and downs, and learn of the frustrations and complications of caring for a mentally ill relative in the UK. Feel free to join us - ask the library for the link.
Things to eat...
One of our favourite salads that we regularly make is Delia's Pesto Rice salad. it is great for a buffet or just for one person (adjusting quantities of course or you will be eating every day!). Its really easy to make - we use bought pesto rather than making our own... #hangsheadinshame.
