Spreading the good word

Head Librarian Jenny with our eye catching UpToDate display in Springs

If you've been to Springs today for your lunch or a sneaky bit of chocolate, you'll probably have noticed our lovely display boards with loads of information on 'UpToDate'. Hopefully this will answer questions like, "What is it?" "How do I access it?" "Is it evidence-based?"

You'll also find some handy 'user guide' leaflets on the tables that show all the features of UpToDate, feel free to take away one for you and your colleagues.


Pick up a UpToDate leaflet in Springs or in the Library

General interest and usage of UpToDate is on the up and hopefully the display boards will encourage more healthcare professionals to make good use of the resource.

Also this week...

 

Jenny Lewis from UpToDate will be giving a presentation at the next Hospital Round on Friday and we hope there will be a good crowd of enthusiastic listeners in attendance... or at least a decent crowd of people taking advantage of the free lunch!

If you would like to book one to one or a group training session on UpToDate please contact us and we'll arrange a time best suited to you. Feel free to get in touch if you ever have any questions or queries.

Finally I'll leave you with some nice comments from some of our UpToDate users:

"I've used Up-To-Date for some time now for ENT information, and can highly recommend it. The site is comprehensive and has the most current evidence."

“…Using UpToDate helped consolidate my knowledge and reassure me that my clinical management was based on recent evidence base.”

“I am really enjoying having UpToDate - that has changed my practice - it is a  really good quick source of information for when I am on the wards and need to look something up.” 

Until next time...
