Clinical librarian blog- Busy, busy, busy!
Oh wow, what a week this has been! I’ve come back from a week’s leave to do battle with more policies for the Trust, and the majority of my week has been spent whipping them in to shape before next week’s meeting. I hate to go into a meeting unprepared, so I feel much better […]

New year, new skills?
January is an ideal time to reassess your “soft” skills and develop new ways of working. Plenty of inspiration is available at the library with a collection of books available to borrow from publishers Kogan Page, who specialise in business, management and professional development. There’s something for students and staff working at all levels. Topics […]
