Launch of the Kidney Diseases Specialist Library

The Kidney Diseases Specialist Library has now been launched to coincide with World Kidney Day on 8 March 2007.
The focus of the Specialist Library is on kidney diseases and renal tract infections affecting adults and children in the UK.
There is also basic information on renal tract cancer.

The Kidney Diseases Specialist Library is primarily developed for health professionals working in the UK health service, providing a wide variety of links to renal information. The website also features a large amount of information that is of interest to kidney patients, and carers of people with kidney disease.

National Knowledge Weeks

Dear all
Just a note to let you know that there is now a list of planned National Knowledge Weeks for 2007 available from www.library.nhs.uk/forlibrarians/sl
These have been agreed with our Specialist Libraries - although it's possible that things may change as the year goes on - I'll keep you updated.

We're aware that there is a very full calendar of weeks planned, and that you won't be able to highlight or support all of them - but with advanced notice from this list, hopefully you'll be able to plan to support and raise awareness of some of the weeks.

There are 2 imminent weeks to draw your attention to:
Acne Vulgaris (5 - 9 March)
Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes (12 - 17 March)
More information about these weeks is available from the For Librarians page above.

Best wishes
Fran
