July 2009 New Books

The July list of New Books has just been published.

For those thinking about taking a course in the Autumn, we now have a paper copy of the new edition of Floodlight, and also the latest paper copy of HotCourses for the London area. We also have the current British Qualifications, a guide to all qualifications in the UK, so you can see what can be achieved and what is out there to help you further your career!

If you are struggling to create a guideline, then How to write a Guideline from start to finish: a handbook for health professionals by P Bowker was written with you in mind (but don't forget to contact the Knowledge & Library Service as well - we can help you identify current practice and assist you with your searches).

For managers we have added, amongst others, the 4th edition of the classic Gower handbook of project management by R. Turner, and in the area of cultural diversity we have links in NewhamCat (our online network catalogue) to all 13 titles in the Understanding Muslim ethnic communities series. Each community, eg The Nigerian muslim community, has its own book.

In response to a request from paediatricians, we have purchased the new edition of the Child surveillance handbook, & copies of Evaluation of the sexually abused child & Interviewing children about sexual abuse: controversies & best practice.

See the full list for our other purchases this month, and do suggest a title if you feel there is something we should have.
