Christie Library Training Programme 2021

The Christie Library and Knowledge Service is pleased to share our new training dates for 2021.

Back in April 2020, the library team started to work from home. While the library remains open, we have been keen to reduce footfall at the hospital site and so our training programme has been moved exclusively online. All of our training sessions can now be accessed via Microsoft Teams.

For the library, this has been a positive experience and it has enabled users from across the Christie to engage with library training no matter where they are based. We have delivered sessions to large groups, whole teams and to staff at Christie satellite sites in Oldham and Salford.

Why sign up for library training sessions?

Read some of our testimonies from your colleagues about our training sessions since we introduced virtual sessions.

The quality of resources and guidance provided, interactivity, knowledge gained, as well as the clear passion and enthusiasm of the trainer all highly exceeded expectations, and made the session an extremely enjoyable and worthwhile one.

Definitely better than I expected. A great trainer/host, very enthusiastic and made a 3 hour training session enjoyable! I have already recommended the training to colleagues.

It was better than I expected. I have attended other similar sessions but gained far more from this one. Thank you!

There were plenty of ‘wows!’ as the training progressed and the librarian was an excellent facilitator. I have been looking forward to doing some literature reviews and honing my newly acquired skills.

To book on to a training session, visit the Library Training Pages on Hive (intranet link)

Eliminating Cervical Cancer: resources for Christie staff

On 17th November, the World Health Organisation launches its global campaign to eliminate cervical cancer.

“Cervical cancer is a preventable and curable disease, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Yet it is the fourth most common form of cancer among women worldwide, and the most common cancer among women living with HIV, who are six times as likely to develop cervical cancer. “

WHO (2020)

 

Here at the Christie School of Oncology, our GatewayC Team work hard on developing education to detect the early signs of cancer. You can see some of their work here on the NICE website:

GatewayC: Improving early detection of cancer through e-learning for primary care

Check out the GatewayC elearning resources and free webinars here: www.gatewayc.org.uk

Black History Month: Sarah Parker Redmond

Produced by Serena, Education Administration Apprentice in the School of Oncology

Today is the last day that I will be composing these blog posts. However, Black (British) history is not over because October has come to an end.

I would like to introduce you to Sarah Parker Redmond, born in Massachusetts in 1826 as a free woman. Redmond is a woman of many talents; activist, lecturer, abolitionist and physician.

She was avidly vocal around the atrocities of slavery and toured the world with the American Anti-Slavery Society, eventually coming to Britain. Arriving in Liverpool on January 12th 1859, she eloquently delivered over 45 speeches across England, Ireland and Scotland. These lectures covered the misogynoir (racism and sexism) that Black women faced under slavery which was rarely ever talked about.

Following Liverpool, Sarah made it to Manchester. Her lecture was recorded by the Manchester Times, here is a quote:

“For the slave there is no home, no hope, no help; When I walk through the streets of Manchester and meet load after load of cotton, I think of those 80,000 cotton plantations on which was grown the $125m worth of cotton which supply your market, and I remember that not one cent of that money ever reached the hands of the labourers.”

Sarah seriously left her mark with that speech. In 1862, cotton workers refused to touch raw cotton that was picked by unpaid labourers in the American South.

American abolitionist and physician Sarah Parker Redmond (1826–1894)

Redmond continued on in Britain, she joined the London Emancipation Committee, studied at the London University College and graduated as a nurse. In 1867, she moved to Florence and became a doctor, practicing for more than 20 years. Sarah is an incredible character and there is much we can learn from her and her experiences.

I chose to have a piece on Sarah because it makes one think about the city that we reside in. Manchester was an economic superpower due to slavery and the cotton industry, hence why it was also known as ‘Cottonopolis’. When you are next in the city centre and look at the grand buildings, think about where the money came from to erect these symbols of power and status.

Black History Month: Nurse Ademola

Produced by Serena, Education Administration Apprentice in the School of Oncology

For the third week’s edition, I introduce you to Nurse Ademola.

During wartime, it was not uncommon for royalty to lend their helping hand and step down from their royal duties. Nurse Ademola was a princess – Princess Omo-Oba Adenrele Ademola to be exact.

When I did my research and came across this young lady, I was surprised and in awe. Her father, prominent King in the southern region of Nigeria sent the Princess to school in Somerset in 1936, and from there she started a career in nursing. Ademola had to balance both her duties as a nurse and as a royal; at times she attended and conducted royal events, she may have even been present at the coronation of George VI.

Princess Omo-Oba Adenrele Ademola (1944/5) © Imperial War Museum

We are unsure of the exact experiences of Princess Ademola as the archives are lost. A propaganda film, called ‘Nurse Ademola’, was made through the Colonial Film Unit to promote “colonial development and generate support for the imperial war effort”. The mysterious erasure of the film symbolises the disregard of Black women from the historical narrative, particularly Black African women and even royalty!

Nurse Ademola needs to be recognised for coming over to the UK and facing social, political and racial turmoil, despite her status as a royal. What is most interesting about Ademola’s story is that it prompts people to think about the history of royalty in West Africa, especially before colonialism.

Black History Month: Black Nursing before the Windrush

Produced by Serena, Education Administration Apprentice in the School of Oncology

Today we remember and celebrate Black British women of the NHS and those who came before.

We are all familiar with the Windrush, particularly the atrocities that came to surface in the last few years under Theresa May and the ‘Hostile Environment’ act. There is a common misconception that those who came on the Windrush were the first people of colour to ever step foot in the UK.

Whilst it is true that these individuals were asked to come and help rebuild post-war Britain; many men worked as bus and train conductors, whilst many women came and worked in the premature NHS as nurses and midwives. However, there were women nursing in the UK before the Windrush arrival and the NHS – Dzagbele Matilda Asante – was one of them.

Born in Ghana in 1927, Dzagbele recalls completing her Nurse training in North-West London and subsequently completed her midwifery qualification. She remembers the rife racism that she experienced; one patient refused to be prepared for theatre by her because she was an African nurse. These perpetual experiences did not stop Dzagbele from continuing to provide impeccable care to the women and babies. At the golden age of 93, she is still involved in the health service – mothers and young children continue to meet weekly for health meetings in her home.

Mrs Asante with her 1948 portrait: via blackhistorymonth.org.uk

There are many amazing women I could talk about, but we would be here forever. I chose to summarise Dzagbele’s experiences because it breaks the narrative of Black people being here only after the arrival of the Windrush.

Black History Month: Onesmius and Vaccination

Produced by Serena, Education Administration Apprentice in the School of Oncology

Smallpox Image via The Economist

Yesterday was the start of Black History Month (the month itself is flawed, but I suppose we have to utilise it). Black History is British History and I feel that it is important to always be aware of our ancestors.

This year’s Black History month is even more powerful as it comes after a tumultuous few months following the death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and many more individuals.

As we work in the NHS, we need to be aware of the Black individuals that were part of medicine and nursing who faced discrimination, racism and marginalisation. So every week, I will focus on a person who had a part to play in the making of modern medicine/healthcare.

Today, we remember Onesmius, an African slave who aided the vaccination of smallpox to Europe and subsequently curtailed the impact of smallpox in Boston in 1721. Onesimus explained the procedure of variolation to his ‘master’. This process involved extracting infective substance and in a controlled environment, inputting this substance into the cut of a healthy person – inoculation.

We all know Edward Jenner, we learnt him throughout school. However, practices of inoculation, early vaccination, existed in China, Africa, India and Turkey. “Without acknowledging the rich tapestry of how modern medicine has come to be; we risk exclusionary history”.

So, next time you get your flu jab, remember Onesmius.

Digital Learning at The Christie!

This is an exciting time for the Digital Learning Team (formerly known as Technology Enhanced Learning), based at The Christie School of Oncology. We are embracing the recent shift in increased demand for our service, working with an even wider array of healthcare professionals, supporting them in transforming their face-to-face learning, into first-class, engaging and innovative digital learning and media.

Although a challenging time for the NHS, the chance to work in partnership with a range of departments across the Trust and key organisations, has provided us with a real opportunity to demonstrate the quality of our learning. We feel honoured to have been able to support the Trust-wide Covid-19 response, by developing Critical Care learning for our colleagues, psychological support for our patients and ‘how to’ guides to support self- testing. We have also worked closely with Medical Education and Clinical Skills, to digitise essential face-to-face training, to ensure that our Junior Doctors, Health Care Support Workers and Registered Professionals, still receive high quality education.

What do we do?

  • Bespoke interactive digital learning
  • Multimedia/ video production
