National Intensive Care Week

7^th June 2022 – 12^th June 2022

Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are specialist wards within hospitals that provide treatment and monitoring to the sickest of patients. Such areas are staffed by specially trained healthcare professionals and often contain sophisticated monitoring equipment. ICUs are also sometimes called critical care units (CCUs) or intensive therapy units (ITUs).

Intensive care treatment is needed if someone is seriously ill and requires intensive treatment and close monitoring, or if they're having surgery and intensive care can help them recover. People who are patients within these areas, normally have issues with one or more of their organs, e.g. they are unable to breathe on their own and therefore require the additional medical care provided from an ICU.

The aim of National Intensive Care Week is to celebrate the incredible work that happens in critical care; and to say thank you to those professionals who work within such areas.

Awareness Month - May 2022

 

Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of rare inherited conditions that affect connective tissue. Connective tissues provide support in skin, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, internal organs and bones.

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are currently classified into thirteen types. In all but the hypermobile subtype (hEDS) genetics variants have been identified as the cause for the disorder and are part of the diagnostic criteria. Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), which used to be known as the hypermobility type or type 3, is thought to be the most common genetic connective tissue disorder.

EDS affects people in different ways. Some people experience the condition on a mild basis, while for some the symptoms are disabling.

Ehlers-Danlos Support UK (EDS UK) was set up in 1987 to support, advise and inform those living with the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes.  Over 30 years later, we are the largest UK charity that exclusively represents and supports people with all types of EDS. This May, the team at Ehlers-Danlos Support UK (EDSUK) are encouraging people to take part in their Dazzle Walk in order to raise funds and awareness for Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes.

Closure of Healthcare Databases Advanced Search interface 31 March 2022

 This is to inform you of the closure of the Healthcare Databases Advanced Search (HDAS) on 31^st March 2022.

From 1^st April 2022 onwards:

• You will not be able to access or use HDAS.
• Any alerts saved in HDAS will stop running and stop sending results to you.
• All search strategies and search results saved in HDAS will be deleted.
• You will only be able to perform advanced searches on the bibliographic databases (such as Medline and CINAHL) using the database provider websites run by OVID, ProQuest and EBSCO.

So that you can prepare for the closure please visit our HDAS closure page for information on the services that you can use to search the literature, now and in the future, and on the steps you need to take to export saved searches from HDAS.

If you need further help moving from HDAS to provider interfaces, please contact the library team.

Do look at HEE’s NHS Knowledge and Library Hub, a new national search interface for all NHS-funded digital knowledge resources including journals and books, which also includes links to all the database provider websites.

Library refurbishment

 

We are continuing with our refurbishment of the library,

Downstairs of the library is open for self study whilst lighting works continue upstairs please take care to avoid scaffolding in the entranceway. 

Facilities will remain open for those with 24/7access

Library refurbishment - further works

Happy New Year!

We are continuing with our refurbishment of the library. Over the next couple of weeks we have work continuing to replace and update the lighting  throughout the library. As well as improving the light it will also be safer, with new emergency lighting and sensors so it won't be totally dark if coming into  the library in the evenings.

In the meantime  there will be a bit of disruption whilst the works are carried out. From Tuesday, downstairs will be inaccessible for the rest of the week this means that there will be no browsing of the bookstock but access to computers and study space remain available upstairs. It you do require books from the shelves please contact library staff and we will do our best to get them for you library@uhnm.nhs.uk x2913

At the end of the week (Thursday and Friday) we will also be having some work done on the stairwells which may further complicate matters so you may want to ring ahead of a visit to check you can access the facilities you need.

The Health Library at Stoke remains open as usual.
