NHS Wales Library Service (NHSWLS) 💙💚

A reminder that we're now on BlueSky! We won't be posting here on X for much longer - so join us there to keep up with us!

Our 12th and final resource highlight is our Youtube playlist - we've got videos to help you use nhswaleslibrarysearch.cardiff.ac.uk including logging in, researching your topic, and using the Research Assistant. Videos available in Welsh and English! youtube.com/playlist?list=…

2 sleeps left and here's Murray the skeleton wishing you a Nadolig Llawen from all of us! Most of our libraries will be unstaffed from today until the New Year, but 24 hour access is still available in some locations!

Our 11th day of resource shoutouts and we haven't even mentioned the catalogue yet! Use nhswaleslibrarysearch.cardiff.ac.uk to search for all articles, journals, books, guidelines, databases, etc available to #NHSWales staff. We also have an AI Research Assistant! Sign in with your NHS Email

4 sleeps to go and we're at Prince Charles Hospital Library @CwmTafMorgannwg in today's advent!

If leaping is a bit out of your wheelhouse right now we've got books on gentler exercise like walking and chair yoga to see you into the New Year. Nothing kills those resolutions like trying to do too much at once, so ease yourself into your fitness goals!

Well, it's the week before Christmas, and I think we should have a peek at some of the decorations in our libraries...We'll start with the St. Cadoc's Hospital Library! #christmas #libraries #decorations

And to finish our festive look around the libraries, we've got the Royal Gwent Hospital Library decorations! #libraries #christmas #decorations

Day 19 of our advent calendar and now we're all being shown up by this incredible diorama at the Princess of Wales Hospital Library - even Elfie had to come by and check it out (and evidently found a friend in the process...)

As well as resources provided by us, #NHSWales staff also get access to all the national e-subscriptions provided by the NHS Wales E-Library. These include Evidence Summaries and Guidelines like these from GOSH and The Royal Marsden. Find them all here: elh.nhs.wales

Day 17 of our Christmas countdown and we're landing at John Spalding Library, Wrexham Maelor Hospital, and another incredible journal tree. Who says no one uses physical journals anymore?! Can't make a tree out of e-journals can you...and we've tried! @BCUHB_Libraries

Access point of care tools through your Health Board Library Service! The #NHSWales E-Library provides a national subscription to BMJ BestPractice, and some health boards also individually subscribe to UpToDate or DynaMed - contact us to learn more! nhswls.org

A bonus Nadolig Llawen from Cefn Coed Hospital Library @SwanBayUHBLibs

Only 10 days 'til Christmas, and if like Elfie you're feeling a bit of end of year burnout, you can find wellbeing spaces in our libraries to take some time for yourself. We've got jigsaws, colouring, comfy seats, plus wellbeing and fiction books for you to read!

Our gift to you today is a reminder about our online membership form. Can't make it to your nearest hospital library but want access to e-resources? Use our online form to sign up and your library will be in touch to confirm your membership! nhswls.org/join
