Day 19 of our advent calendar and now we're all being shown up by this incredible diorama at the Princess of Wales Hospital Library - even Elfie had to come by and check it out (and evidently found a friend in the process...)

As well as resources provided by us, #NHSWales staff also get access to all the national e-subscriptions provided by @nhswaleselibrary.bsky.social . These include Evidence Summaries and Guidelines like these from GOSH and The Royal Marsden. Find them all here: elh.nhs.wales

Day 17 of our Christmas countdown and we're landing at John Spalding Library, Wrexham Maelor Hospital, and another incredible journal tree. Who says no one uses physical journals anymore?! Can't make a tree out of e-journals can you...and we've tried!

Access point of care tools through your Health Board Library Service! @nhswaleselibrary.bsky.social provides a national subscription to BMJ BestPractice, and some health boards also individually subscribe to UpToDate or DynaMed - contact us to learn more! www.nhswls.org

Only 10 days 'til Christmas, and if like Elfie you're feeling a bit of end of year burnout, you can find wellbeing spaces in our libraries to take some time for yourself. We've got jigsaws, colouring, comfy seats, plus wellbeing and fiction books for you to read!
