Four Signature behaviours - August 2018

	August  2018
Do what we say we will do	We undertake literature searches regularly.  However, recently Hannah was asked to source the original versions of patient mental health and wellbeing questionnaires for a Clinical Psychologist within our trust, e.g. the Sickness Impact Profile, or the Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale.  These were difficult to source as some had restricted copyright, or were mentioned only as a reference in other journal articles.  Of the 7 requested, she managed to source 4, and provided contact details of the holders of copyright of the other 3.
No delays, every day	Shophie and Hannah will again do A&E drop ins on the ward to help staff get their smartcards with no delay with their identity checks
We listen, we learn, we lead	David has had a chapter on a reading group he set up published this month in a book on Bibliotherapy . In it he has researched the benefits of reading aloud and explains in an easy guide how to set up groups on wards. David is setting up a group at New Haven and hopes to expand this work further with Occupational Therapists
Work together, celebrate together	The library has set up links with Warwickshire and Coventry health libraries in an effort to share good practice. The universities are sharing their reading lists for medical students which ensures we will purchase the most up to date and relevant stock
