Staff joining us from overseas working to improve their English so they may practice here may like to know that we have textbooks to support them available to loan from the library. We also have some more on order due to arrive in the middle of next month. Please tell your colleagues!
Library staffed opening hours for the week beginning 1st Feb are shown below (if you are receiving this in an email you may need to click on the post title to view in full). Please note that the library remains open 24/7 to members who have requested full access otherwise the building can be accessed during PGMC opening hours Mon-Fri.
The library can help you find evidence for your research by carrying out literature searches. We did this recently for Dr Kumar, Consultant Physician & Geriatrician here at County who has now published a study on video-consultation for the management of Parkinson's disease which you can read here: https://www.gmjournal.co.uk/video-consultation-for-the-management-of-parkinson-s-disease-during-covid-19-pandemic

The library will be staffed every day next week. Exact times are shown below (click on title if reading this in email form):
The library remains open through lockdown although as mentioned previously staffed hours are subject to change. We continue to work our normal hours off-site however and can be reached by email at library@uhnm.nhs.uk between 8.30 and 4pm Monday to Friday.
We are staffed until 4pm each day next week but start times in the library vary between 8.30 and 9.30 am. On site hours for the next week are as follows:
There are currently some problems with access to the e-book series Oxford Handbooks online. Please bear with us whilst we seek to resolve this with our suppliers. We will let you know when the e-books are up and running again.
All the desktop PCs in the library have been replaced with new ones running Windows 10 this week. This means that all computers both laptops and desktops are now running Windows 10. Most are on the NHS network but we also have some running on the PGMC wifi allowing you to use software such as Zoom.
We are open for self-study or come and do your ESR stat/mand training online or bring headphones and find a quiet corner for a Teams/Zoom meeting. If there is any Trust software that you need for training not available on our computers let us know and we will see what we can do.
(Note that there is no longer a requirement to type AD when logging in).
