Growing up in the UK

The BMA's latest major report Growing up in the UK builds on a report it published in 1999 called Growing Up in Britain. The BMA acknowledges that some progress has been made but is concerned these improvements are likely to be reversed. This link takes you to a page that reviews the key recommendations, where you can read the detailed analysis, and links to the full report.

The earlier report is held by the library and is shelved at WS 100 BRI.

NICE Evidence Search replaces NHS Evidence

NICE Evidence Search enables access to authoritative clinical and non-clinical evidence, including social care resources. The new search interface, launched on 1^st April 2013, incorporates the former National electronic Library for Medicines (NeLM).

NICE Evidence Search can be accessed at www.evidence.nhs.uk .

Systematic Literature Review on Lipomyelomeningocele

We are pleased to report that Grazia Manzotti is a joint author on a paper published in the March issue of Child’s Nervous System (IF 1.542) with ICH/GOSH staff, including Nurse Consultant Lindy May.  The paper (DOI 10.1007/s00381-013-2063-2), “Lack of uniformity in the clinical assessment of children with lipomyelomeningocele: a review of the literature and recommendations for the future” is available at http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00381-013-2063-2 

Grazia’s work on the systematic literature review is an excellent example of how members of the Library team support research across the site and we are pleased to see her contribution recognised in this way.
