NHS A&A Library & Knowledge Services

All set up for the Newly Qualified Nurse Open Evening at @NHSaaa Crosshouse, ready to tell all the new perspective nurses about how Library and Knowledge Services can support them on their nursing journey.

NHS A&A Library and Knowledge Services have taken a step back from X and will no longer post regularly to this account. Updates will instead be posted to our Viva Engage, AthenA and LinkedIn pages. And you can, as always access our resources via knowledge.scot.nhs.uk

Would you like a visit from our service? We are happy to come to your meetings/huddles to tell you more about how we can help support you. Contact library@aapct.scot.nhs.uk to arrange a visit

We'd like to know if anyone has an interest in the history of medicine locally? This is of interest to our NHSA&A R&D Department. Please get in touch by response or email library@aapct.scot.nhs.uk @RCPSGheritage @RCSEdArchive

Hi followers. If you weren't to find us here, where would you look for information from us? Or like to see us?

P.S. Do NOT search for books on how to avoid getting eaten by a polar bear; there is one but judging by the synopsis it's definitely NSFW.😂

We hadn't had an update on Health Elf's journey home for a while, but then a certain red-nosed reindeer sent us this picture.😧 If only we had a book about how to avoid being eaten by a polar bear. Is this the end for Health Elf...?

Health professionals are part of the team that supports children on their mental health journey. Our topic, Depression in children, includes an approach to screening for, assessing, and managing depressive disorders bit.ly/3jHoCk6 #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

We have a variety of new books at Woodland View Library - pop by to browse and borrow

Did you know we have many NHS A&A clinical guidelines on Right Decisions? The latest is on catheterisation. Ckeck them out at: bit.ly/4jtQL8l

Due to the red weather warning in place tomorrow as a result of Storm Eowyn, our libraries will be unstaffed. Staff will still be available by contacting us on library@aapct.scot.nhs.uk.

Some of you may point out that the theme of our #NewBooks post is almost a month out of date. To those of you, we say 'Humbug!' 😂 It's never too late for 'The Muppet Christmas Carol.' Titles are in the ALT text.

Health Elf finally appears to be on the home stretch, and shared a lovely photo of them enjoying the Northern Lights. While it's a lovely photo, we're glad their trousers haven't fallen down any further or we might also get a glimpse of the dark side of the moon.😂

Health Elf decided to stop and catch up with an old friend! We could have a go at them for dawdling on the way home, but they've reminded us that no matter how far along you are on your journey, it's always nice to check in on friends.❤️

We're not really sure climbing Ben Nevis on your way home is the most efficient use of energy, Health Elf, but as long as you're having fun, that's the main thing.😏
