In September, we bought 11 new books for the Northern NHS Libraries CPD collection part of the Learning Academy Library. An odd number because odd numbers are more memorable. I’m sure I read that somewhere…

This is also a great time to check out our new Learning Academy Library website, which has details of how to access all of our CPD stock, together with details of how to get hold of our new e-books as well.

Speaking of which, if you have any suggestions for more CPD stock (but especially e-books as we have a bigger budget to spend) then please email our new learning academy email address at: LALib@knowledgeforhealthcare.nhs.uk
