We have updated our blog sidebar with some handy links to trustworthy sources of information and discussion on best practice for staff.
Keeping up to date can be difficult when you have a lot of clinical priorities, so the Christie Library and our colleagues across the Northwest have tried to make it as easy as possible for you.
We have compiled a list of trusted web and blog resources for staff to peruse, or bookmark so that keeping up to date can be as simple as one click of the mouse.
Today’s blog recommendation from Janet, our Nursing Librarian, is the May 2018 post on the Foundation of Nursing Studies blog, entitled: The value of collaboration, inclusion and participation.
Here is a run down of some of the blogs available that you can subscribe to and keep up to date. If you are aware of any other useful blogs for NHS staff, please let us know and we will collect them on our blog sidebar ‘Recommended Reads’.
