BAPEN e-learning website
There are three modules, which have been developed on behalf o fthe British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN).
The modules are:
- disease related malnutrition
- methods and monitoring of artificial nutrition support
- ethics and legal aspects of artificial nutrition support
They contain some relevant material, case studies and MCQ questions and it is possible to generate a certificate at the end once a minimum mark has been obtained (the MCQs can be taken as often as desired to achieve this). They are aimed at foundation year doctors and core trainees and take about 2 hours to complete.
They are available at the following link on the BAPEN website: http://www.bapen.org.uk/elearning/. You will need to create a new user account.

SIRSI library management system
The SIRSI library management system has a new end-user interface. The new interface offers a host of useful services that will be of direct benefit to Deanery staff and trainees. As well as providing a simple search tool to provide access to the combined book and journal stock of KSS healthcare libraries, the new portal allows end-users to:
- Identify and apply for membership of their local NHS healthcare library
- Apply for an Athens account, providing access to a wealth of online resources including: databases (e.g. MedLine, PsycINFO) and full-text access to healthcare journals
- Manage their own user account (requests and renewals etc...)
