New books added in August 2009

Here's the link to the August New Books List.

Midwives will be pleased to know that the new edition of Myles' textbookbook for midwives is now available to borrow, and we have purchased several new nursing texts including the UK editions of the Made Incredibly Easy! series, & books on clinical nursing supervision, eg Milne's Evidence-based clincial supervision: principles and practice. Check out the list for more new nursing & midwifery/obstetrics books.

Surgeons will be interested in Clinical surgery made easy: a companion to problem-based learning and Top knife: the art and craft of trauma surgery, while Medical London: city of diseases, city of cures will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in the medical history of our city.

A couple of new titles on stroke management will be of use to both therapists and clinicians: The Stroke clinician's handbook and Stroke treatment and prevention.

As usual, this is just a tiny selection of our new titles. Check the list for the full range, and go to NewhamCat on our Trust network to see our full stock.

Where are we on the Map?

The NHS in Newham is working on localising the Map of Medicine. You can read more about this resource in our previous post on this topic.




As part of the process of getting the Map up and running we need to establish a base line position on awareness and use. All clinical staff in Newham are asked to complete this brief pre-implementation online survey.
