We have acquired the most recent editions of several titles including Bailey and Love's short practice of surgery, Cardiac nursing : a comprehensive guide by Hatchett & Thompson, Polgar's Introduction to research in the health sciences, & Balen's Infertility in practice. Check the list for other new editions.

In response to demand, we have made several purchases in the area of Management, notably the Good to Great titles by J. Collins, Thought leadership : moving hearts and minds by R. Ryde & Journey to lean : making operational change stick by J. Drew et al. We also now have hard copies of the Improvement Leader's Guides from the NHS Innovation and Improvement.

Several books have recently been published on the NHS as it reached its 60th anniversary. We have selected Building a world-class NHS by I. Smith & The NHS after 60 : for patients or profits? as of particular interest.

We continue to add nationally available NHS E-books (i.e. books available electronically online) to NewhamCat so that you can locate them easily, eg Isaacs' Evidence-based pediatric infectious diseases. You will see this screen when you first click an e-book link. Make sure you have your Athens log-in details to progress to the full text.
