A newly-revamped social care website has been launched today (Wednesday 8 June 2016) as part of the national Carers Week 2016.
Shropshire Choices, developed by Shropshire Council’s adult services team, is designed to ensure everyone in Shropshire has access to information at a time and in a format which suits them
The combination search is back (for Pro users)!
It went missing when we moved to the new design and it’s taken a while to put it back and integrate it.
Medical images on Trip has just got even more useful! A Twitter user suggested a great feature would be to restrict the images to those that are freely available to use. In other words, those with liberal (or no) copyright restrictions. As you’ll see in the image below we have a new tick box, “Only show images that are free to modify, share and use”
ver the last week we've received questions about our autocomplete feature. I wanted to take the opportunity to clarify a few things. The autocomplete algorithm is designed to avoid completing a search for a person’s name with terms that are offensive or disparaging. We made this change a while ago following feedback that Autocomplete too often predicted offensive, hurtful or inappropriate queries about people. This filter operates according to the same rules no matter who the person is, as you can see in some examples here.
The PICO tool can help you to analyse your question into a clinical question.
Our new etutorial Using PICO will:
Explain what PICO is
Show you an example
Help you to use PICO to create clinical questions
This workshop is available to all nurses who are due to be revalidated
The aim of this training module is to support the nurse revalidation programme by providing an overview of NICE and Cochrane Library health databases and enabling delegates to obtain practical experience of conducting an effective literature search using a clinical database. Nurses are encouraged to bring a clinical question with them to the session which they can then investigate during the workshop.
The editors of TRIP Database are pleased to have just published a number of short videos highlighting some of the main ways of getting the most from the resource.
Did you know you can now follow the library on Twitter and Facebook too. Our Twitter account @CostelloLib has been up and running for a while and we have now set up a closed Facebook Group exclusively for staff. We are hoping you will share your views of our services and feedback to us about how we can be of help to you and your teams.
