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.  John Clarke
