Here are some recent “You Said, We Did” actioned items.

You Said	We Did
You wanted to be able to issue, return and renew items during unstaffed times	We bid for and installed a new self service unit which allows the issuing, renewal and return of library items 24/7 The machine is conveniently located by the library counter Ask library staff if you would like a demonstration
You wanted to find the Library IT Suite easily	We bid for and now use colourful and fully customisable signage which is used to signpost training in the IT Suite
You wanted to access UpTodate & Dynamed Plus (clinical decision making support resources) on mobile devices. This previously was not allowed due to licencing restrictions	We have upgraded the licenses to allow access to these resources for Trust staff and students on placement on mobile devices.
You asked us for information on research generated by Trust employees, and where this was published	We set up a blog highlighting and disseminating the Trust research output which is indexed via PubMed, Medline or EMBASE. http://wuthlibraryresearchandebp.blogspot.co.uk/
You asked for the ability to submit Inter Library Loan requests from outside the Trust	We developed a web based Inter Library Loan request form that can be used from anywhere and is compliant with copyright legislation. http://www.wuth.nhs.uk/patients-andvisitors/services/l/library/document-book-supply/
You said you needed to listen to the sound on PCs to undertake staff development	We advertised the headphones that we supply for this purpose, so that you can hear the sound without disturbing other library users
You said you needed access to library forms outside of staffed times	We located library registration. Interlibrary Loan and Evidence Alerts registration forms outside the library door and enabled you to submit the forms via the Book return box for prompt processing at the next available staffed time.
You said you wanted to know what the Library did with deposits which were unclaimed	We adjusted the wording of the email which goes out to all library users when their accounts are due to expire which explains that deposits which are not reclaimed become part of library funds and are used to enhance our services and support.

WUTH publication: Practices in antenatal counselling for extremely premature infants amongst European trainees

Citation: The Journal of maternal-fetal & neonatal medicine. 2016 Feb 8, 1-10
Author: Geurtzen R, van Heijst AF, Babarao S, Molloy E, Draaisma JM, Hogeveen M
Abstract: There is no international consensus on content and process regarding antenatal counselling in extreme prematurity. The need for adequate training is increasingly recognized. This descriptive study evaluates current practice in antenatal counselling amongst European trainees using an online survey. Focussing on the process, the majority of respondents did not have a medical consensus guideline. Seven percent of the trainees received some formal training. Focussing on the content, about half of the subjects did not mention any statistics about mortality.
CONCLUSION: we observed wide variation in actual content and organisation in antenatal counselling in Europe amongst European trainees in neonatology.
KEYWORDS: antenatal counselling; limits of viability; prematurity
