Change in Evidence

We are expecting a new arrival...

30th April will see the arrival of a new website offering a high quality, evidence oriented, search experience.

There will be some changes to the current National Library For Health website but these should be largely cosmetic to start with.

We will keep you informed on developments!

Anatomy learning with Anatomy.TV

A number of years ago we had access to the Anatomy.tv resource via the now defunct National electronic Library for Health site (more on upcoming changes to it's replacement in a future post).

As an interim measure we were able to lend CD Rom based versions of the same (still available via NewhamCat) but these proved rather unwieldy and take up was low.

We are pleased to announce that access to Anatomy.tv has been restored and it includes even more resources. You can access it from anywhere using your Athens username.

For those encountering it for the first time Anatomy.tv is a fantastic website that offers 3D anatomical images by region or system that you can rotate, zoom and alter the level of detail on (nerves, muscles, just skeletal etc). There are also MRI images, MCQs and quizzes and specialist modules for Sports & Therapy and Surgery.

We have been able to access the resources on site at NUHT but do let us know if you have experience any issues.

BMJ Learning - now FREE to you

A great collection of e-learning resources is now available to all Newham staff. There are hundreds of modules available aimed at a broad range of healthcare staff (though those aimed at Doctors are most numerous).



You will need your Athens username and there is an additional registration process on the site itself. If you have used BMJ Learning in the past then you can link your old BMJ Learning login to your Athens. Once you have completed the registration you will only need your Athens details in future.



All modules are peer reviewed to ensure quality and some can lead to CME points.

March 2009 New Books List

Here is the last New Books List of the financial year 2008/09. You will find a substantial proportion are links to full text electronic items. For your convenience, we try to provide links on NewhamCat, the network library catalogue, to all important new health-related documents that are available on-line.

The subject of child abuse has been much in the news over the past months and we have a link to Lord Laming's report The protection of children in England as well as a paper copy for borrowing. We have also purchased the 3rd edion of Reece & Christian's classic title Child abuse: medical diagnosis and management.

Other electronic items include the NHS London annual report 2007/08 and Safely does it from the Healthcare Commission on implementing safer care for patients. The Healthcare Commission has now been merged into the new Care Quality Commission and all Healthcare Commission documents can be found on a dedicated section of the new website.

We have made two substantial additions to our Reference collection this month - The Medical Directory 2009 and The Health and Social Care Yearbook 2008-2009.

Check the list for all new items added, and search on NewhamCat to see what else we have.
