Introduction to the Library, Literature searching and Endnote for GOSH staff

 The GOSICH Library has just created a brand new training program geared at GOSH staff. 

There are 2 different sessions one on the Library resources and one on Endnote. 

Session 1 

Did you know that GOSH staff can join the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health Library to get access to a range of information resources and search tools?

This session will provide an overview of the library’s services, facilities and resources. You will find out how to access resources remotely online, as well as finding out what is available to you by visiting us, or any of UCL’s other libraries, in person.

The session will also include a brief introduction to literature searching. You will find out which literature databases and other search tools are available to you; you’ll be given some tips for effective searching; and you’ll find out how to access the full-text of the publications that you find.

Session 2 

Also did you know that you can save a lot of time with Endnote and that GOSH staff can install EndNote software on a personal computer, and/or get it installed on a GOSH computer free-of-charge?

 EndNote allows you to collect and organise reference information and to cite references in a Word document using a range of citation styles (e.g. Vancouver or Harvard). It is useful for those writing papers, book chapters, or guidelines. It is also useful for other academic work, such as writing essays or dissertations. This live online session offers a short demonstration, covering how to set up a basic library, how to collect and manage references and full-text documents, and how to organise citations and reference lists in a Word document.

All the sessions will be delivered using Zoom.

These sessions are for Great Ormond Street Hospital staff only.

Child Death Review Study

This report has been published by the Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH). It is the first report of a national confidential enquiry specifically focussed on child deaths. There were six key findings: Key Finding 1: The feasibility of confidential enquiries in children: CEMACH recommended that it should prepare a strategy for the future development of the national confidential enquiry for child health in liaison with the National Patient Safety Agency, the Department of Health, the Department for Children, Schools and Families and other relevant bodies. Key Finding 2: Good practice: The CEMACH enquiry panels found many examples of high quality care and examples where, even with outstanding care, the child died Key Finding 3: The recognition of serious illness in children: CEMACH recommended (for paediatric care in hospitals) a standardised and rational monitoring system with imbedded early identification systems for children developing critical illness – an...

Wellbeing rooms at GOS ICH

Image
For students and staff looking for a moment of calm from their studies or working day may be interested to know that last summer the EDI team introduced two new spaces to be the GOS ICH community. There are two wellbeing rooms, situated on the ground floor of the Philip Ullman Wing, where you can pray, meditate or reflect. It’s also a place for those who are looking for a calm space to take a bit of time out.  Room G0.1 is intended for multi-faith prayer and religious observance, and as a quiet space. Room G0.02 is a dedicated quiet space for wellbeing activities such as meditation, mindfulness practise, quiet reading, or for organised wellbeing activities (except on Fridays between 12:30pm and 2:30pm when it is reserved for prayer). To get to the rooms, cross the small bridge just outside Kennedy Lecture Theatre, and then go through the 2 sets of doors opposite Seminar Room 3 (which is just behind you), the rooms are on your left. To respect other users, please familiarise your...
