Happy International Nurses Day to all of the fantastic nursing staff at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust and Shropshire Community Health Trust. Thank you for all you do caring for patients every single day.

The theme for International Nurses Day this year is “Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for nurses strengthens economies”. There are many ways that the library can help, whatever stage you are at in your nursing career.

Both libraries have wellbeing areas where you can come to sit, relax and pick up a book or try a jigsaw puzzle. We have a wellbeing book collection covering many common physical and mental health conditions available for you to borrow.

The library offers Revalidation Reflective Reading sessions to help with your NMC revalidation. There are also SaTH PCs, Wi-Fi and study space at both libraries to give you a quiet place to work without interruptions.

Whether you are a newly-qualified nurse just beginning your career, working towards your revalidation or furthering your education with post grad courses, the library can offer support with finding books, articles and space for you to study and learn.

Experience of Care Week

Posted on by

Experience of Care Week is an international initiative to celebrate the work that is happening across health and social care to keep improving experiences of care for patients, families, carers and staff.

Experience of Care Week runs from the 25th to the 29th April 2022, and to celebrate the library will have displays with posters, books and useful information available at both sites.

Our librarians have put together a guide with links to useful journal articles about patient experience which is available to download - Experience of care week materials or you can pick up a paper copy from the library.
