NWKs - a couple of additional bits of info

Hello all - we've had some further details through for some of the NWKs later in the autumn.

The Child Health week being run from 24th Sept has been confirmed as being specifically about Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

The Palliative Care week from October 22nd is specifically about Palliative and Supportive Care for chronic non-malignant diseases.

And there's an additional week being put together jointly by the Child Health and Palliative Care SLs about Palliative Care in Children, being run from October 15th.

Cheers
Fran

Osteoporosis and Fragility Fractures National Knowledge Week: 3rd - 7th September 2007

The aim of the National Knowledge Week is to present the latest available evidence and information for osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Previous articles written for the 2006 National Knowledge Week have been reviewed and updated by the experts representing the different professional groups involved in osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Each article is accompanied by supporting evidence focusing in particular on evidence published within the last year – there may be further information available within the Osteoporosis section of the Musculoskeletal Specialist Library and the Metabolic Bone Disease section of the Trauma & Orthopaedics Specialist Library. An additional new feature this year is an Annual Evidence Update. This represents the outcome of a detailed search of the literature published in the last 12 months up to the end of May 2007.

Find details from the Musculoskeletal and Trauma & Orthopaedics Specialist Libraries.
