Blue and Orange zones in the Library and Computer rooms
We’ve added 2 new banners to our computer rooms. H.1.9 is a Blue zone, this means it is for Silent Study. The large computer room is an Orange zone, please work Quietly in this room.
New NHS Evidence Updates available
NHS Evidence are pleased to inform you that ‘Generalised anxiety disorder in adults – Evidence Update September 2012’ and ‘Management of stable angina – Evidence Update September 2012’ have been published.
NICE Evidence Updates help to reduce the need for individuals, managers and commissioners to search for new evidence, and keep health and social care professionals up-to-date with new research. While Evidence Updates do not replace current accredited guidance and do not provide formal recommendations, they do highlight new evidence that health and social care professionals may wish to consider alongside current guidance.
You can browse all NHS Evidence updates released so far on the NHS Evidence Updates webpage
