This week is Dementia Awareness Week.

The library has a number of resources on Dementia, and we have just launched the Exeter Health Library Dementia Resource Hub:

http://exeterhealth.libguides.com/dementia

The Resource Hub contains information on a wide variety of resources including books, journals, evidence-based practice and videos.

We have a wide range of books about dementia, including the Reading Well Agency’s Books on Prescription (Dementia) collection.

For more information, contact the Library.

New and updated e-learning content is being added to Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare (HEE e-LfH) programme on an increasingly regular basis which is seeing more e-learning programmes made available for members of the health and social care workforce.

System downtime has been scheduled to increase the server capacity.  The downtime is scheduled for Thursday 18 May 2017 between 08.00-12.00.

 The e-LfH Hub and the e-LfH website will be unavailable during this time.  Access via an AICC link will also be unable to access e-learning programmes at NHS Trusts.

Any concerns or questions please email: support@e-lfh.org.uk.  Please feel free to share this notification with colleagues who may be affected.

For regular updates about e-LfH content please follow us on Twitter: @HEE_TEL

With kind regards

The HEE e-LfH Programme Team

We welcome all staff to visit us either in person or have a look at our website.

There is currently an access problem to JCO via the NHS Open Athens portal – the publisher is investigating and we apologise for the inconvenience.  In the meantime try accessing via the iOS app – instructions below or email Pam at either p.r.geldenhuys@exeter.ac.uk or pamela.geldenhuys@nhs.net and she will provide the articles to you.

JCO (Journal of Clinical Oncology) is available via a free app for iPhone or iPad. Non-members and non-subscribers may access full-text articles for 90 days without a subscription.

To download the app visit the iTunes App store.

With effect from 1st January 2017, our regional subscription to an online journal collection from Ovid was cancelled. This included titles such as Age and Aging, Annals of Surgery, JBJS (UK & US versions), Spine, Stroke and a few ‘Current opinion in’ titles.

We are currently waiting for the publisher to re-instate our archival access to these titles (for the years that we subscribed to) but in the meantime, if you require any articles please let us know. You can request journal articles online, or drop us an e-mail: rde-tr.library@nhs.net.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

The Library Team

As part of our new website, we’re in the process of creating new Resource Hubs for individual specialties and staff groups, which bring together subject specific information such as:

• Latest books added to library stock for your specialty,
• Links to relevant e-books,
• Links to relevant online journals,
• Access to healthcare databases,
• Access to evidence-based practice resources such as UpToDate,
• Access to CPD resources such as BMJ Learning, e-Learning for Healthcare, links to Royal Colleges etc,
• Latest articles published by RD&E authors in your specialty,
• Links to healthcare apps such as BNF, NICE Guidance etc.

To browse the list of available Resource Hubs by specialty, go to:
https://exeterhealthlibrary.net/by-specialty/

We also have Resource Hubs available for Nurses, Midwives, and Students on Placement.

We hope that the Resource Hubs will be a useful ‘one-stop’ portal for you and your colleagues to access subject specific library resources. We are continuing to build our collection of Resource Hubs, so if you don’t see a Resource Hub available for your specialty yet, please let us know.

We hope that you will benefit from this new feature of our website. If you have any feedback, suggestions for improvements, or new topics you’d like to see covered, please do not hesitate to contact the Library.
