Things in the library 13th August...

 Things to read... 

Whether you are staying at home in the garden or holidaying away don't forget our great selection of Leisure Reading which anyone in the trust can borrow. From light and frothy to hard-hitting and thought provoking, come and browse the shelves or view our selection online. Simply join the library to take advantage of all our services.

Things about sleep... 

A good night’s rest is essential to a healthy lifestyle – protecting you physically and mentally as well as boosting your quality of life. The Sleep Charity has a wealth of good advice and support for Children and adults. There is also a special website aimed at teenagers so if you or someone you know is struggling with sleep have a look at their resources.

Things to help you...  

Make sure you have a NHS Open Athens account set up to access many of the online resources available to you. One of these is BMJ Best practice. You can access this anywhere, it has trusted, evidence-based content and you can earn CME points whilst searching for answers to your clinical questions. Its particular value is for trainees in years 1-5, students, and a broad range of healthcare staff learning and practicing in the UK. Also available as a quick link from the SCH Intranet without an Athens account.

Things out and about... 

As a change from the Peak District's rivers and reservoirs you might like to visit Carsington Water or Rother Valley Country Park for water or cycling or a good picnic venue  or my personal favourite Attenborough Nature Centre and Reserve for all things watery. All of these are within one hour and 15 mins drive from the hospital with activities for all ages (bookable in advance).

Things to learn... 

We can provide help or training on a variety of topics delivered remotely to small groups or individuals. To arrange this all you need to do is join the library (see above) and then 'Book a Librarian'. If there is something you need help with which isn't listed on the booking form then please ask if it is something we can help you with or point you in the right direction.

Things afternoon tea... 

This week Sarah has been providing scones, jam & cream, brownies and drinks in the library with the chance to get away from the workplace. Still chance to pop up today before 4pm. Her excellent scones are made from this recipe. Colouring in sheets also available.
