End of Year Approaching

Hi. Just a quick reminder to keep your loans up-to-date as we approach the end of the semester and you head off for the summer vacation. For final year students especially it's important that all loans must be returned and any outstanding fines paid by the end of service hours on Saturday 11th June.

Contact us if you need advice or have any problems with your account, don't forget we are here to help.

Hope you have a brilliant summer and to those moving on to pastures new, best wishes for your future, it's been great to know you.

Maggie Hague

Health Sciences Library Services Manager

What’s happening in the NHS?

What’s happening in the NHS?
An invitation to ALL Students in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health
When: Monday 16 May 2011, 5.30 – 7.30pm,
Where: Mappin Hall, Sir Frederick Mappin Building

At a recent Focus Group involving students from the Faculty, student representatives asked if we could organise a discussion about the current changes in the NHS, and moreover, take some time to talk about what this will mean for us.
The event will feature a panel made up of local health professionals who will each give their perspective on the plans for change in the NHS. Students will also have the opportunity to ask the panel questions. The event will finish with a buffet meal and time for attendees to chat with other students from across the Faculty and discover more about how they will be working together, in NHS settings.
The event is being hosted by Margaret Freeman, the Faculty Director of Learning and Teaching, as part of a range of Interprofessional Education activities.
The Panel speakers include:
Professor Tony Weetman – Faculty Pro Vice-Chancellor
Professor Liddy Goyder – ScHARR (Public Health expert), NHS Specialist training provider
Ms Kirsten Major – Director of Service Development, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals
Dr Andrew Lee – Practising GP, Clinical Lecturer in ScHARR

The numbers on the books – what do you think?

We are running a survey to find out about your views on the shelfmarks on Library stock, with the aim of making things easier to find on the shelves. It is a short survey, taking about 5 minutes to complete, and we would be grateful for your help. You can find it at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/shelfmark.
