Map of Medicine - new website
Many of you will have looked at the Map of Medicine website in the last 18 months and left it wanting more information. I am pleased to tell you that a new and much improved site is now available. This site offers: new samples in the latest version of the product; provenance information (editorial methodology and sources; and list of pathway content. Although the sample doesn't show integrated use of the NLH, because this website is for use internationally, it does offer links to the NLH throughout. Go to www.medictomedic.com

Spreading the message about the 'Evidence in Practice' DOAS Training Project
Dear colleagues
Apologies for any cross-posting.
United Bristol Healthcare NHS Trust, Severn & Wessex Deanery, and Avon Gloucestershire Wiltshire Strategic Health Authority are working together on a six month project to develop e-learning materials for newly qualified doctors. Our project specifically addresses the evidence-based practice and clinical guidelines elements of their 'Foundation Curriculum'.
The project is under the umbrella of the NHS 'Do Once And Share' programme - and so naturally we want to provide an opportunity for you to give us feedback - by registering with our 'Extended Reference Group'. We have established the ERG to inform, support, nudge, cajole, praise and (gently) criticise the project team - and crucially - to comment on pilot materials as they are developed. Your participation is entirely electronic, and is open to anyone interested.
To register with the ERG, please visit the following URL on our website;
http://www.ubht.nhs.uk/evidence-in-practice/erg.htm
Many thanks for reading this far...and we hope to hear from you.

Health Libraries Week toolkit
The Health Libraries Week toolkit is now available on www.nelh.nhs.uk/dlnet. This includes a list of the materials you can order but PLEASE NOTE materials aren't ready just yet so please don't try ordering yet. We've been assured most materials will be ready for 31st October, and the internal mail envelopes and folders will be ready on 7th November. We appreciate this doesn't give you a great deal of time to get hold of materials - unavoidable delays were caused by awaiting new visual identity guidelines.
You'll also see a link to a syndicated article - this is included in the NHS Connecting for Health toolkit for communicators. You may wish to use the article and add in quotes from your local champions.
We'll be following Health Libraries Week with a short evaluation this year - we'll be in touch to ask you how it went, what worked well, what didn't ...
Best of luck with your Health Libraries Week activities and events - would be good if you could share here some of the things you have planned!
