UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Good evening, #ukmedlibs, welcome to the May chat. We're lucky to have @TraceyPratchett and @Librarianpocket here to lead tonight
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Questions are on the blog at https://t.co/d2gv4RjXNQ #ukmedlibs But first, do tweet a short introduction
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
And remember to use the hashtag #ukmedlibs or your wisdom will not reach us all, nor be archived
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
I'll do an intro then! I'm Victoria , LKS Lead at Wirral University Teaching Hospital 😊#ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
I've already said hello but if you don't know me I'm Tracey from @LancsHospLib #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
Hi everyone! I'm Holly, Outreach Librarian @SASHLibs #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Hiding behind this account, it’s @tomroper, I’m in the chair tonight #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Thanks, Tracey, Victoria. First question you’ve asked us: How do you keep up to date with the wider healthcare agenda? #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@samanthaclare It's a great community :) #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
Shamefully, I'm pretty reliant on my excellent manager @Rachel_Cooke on keeping up to date. She's a fountain of knowledge! #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@UKMedLibs For me there are a number of things that I consider, what's happening in the trust, for example #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
But, also I find my users seem to be at the forefront of change, which keeps me aware. Although I definitely need to be better! #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
Honestly I don't know how I'd manage without Twitter to keep up to date! #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@JamesPjcjames Oh yes! I forgot Twitter! #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
We have a monthly CEO Forum where senior managers in our Trust outline recent development #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
Q1 I rely a lot on meetings too, team brief, Trust Twitter accounts ... really help me to keep in touch with our priorities #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
@tomroper Yes! And Radio 4 👍🏼 #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@Librarianpocket We have regular updates from our CEO which I try to attend. When I was a CL, I once attended the public part of a board mtg #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
@TraceyPratchett Ooh bet that was interesting #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@tomroper Local news often gives a good indication of public opinion #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
I also rely on library regional meetings as colleagues can often help know the bigger picture #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@Librarianpocket It was! The comms lead followed me out to find out who I was, it was unusual for trust staff to attend #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
No one’s mentioned @HSJnews yet #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
And often just informal chats worth other Trust staff can help you to understand local context (gossip) #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@UKMedLibs @HSJnews I was just thinking I need to sign up to their alerts! #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
You’ve also asked us, Q2, what resources / bulletins / mechanisms do you find the most useful? #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@pipdivall @Librarianpocket Would you go again in a different context do you think? #ukmedlibs could it be useful to us in developing services?
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@JamesPjcjames @DerbyHospitals Sounds great :) we have a daily health management bulletin that one of my team produces its really useful #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
Q2 We've probably covered lots of these, should also add that our regional #heelks leads are always v politically aware #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@UKMedLibs I do rely on email, they get automatically directed into "skim read for later" folders #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@UKMedLibs I like the daily @RoyLilley nhsmanager emails #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
RT @HannahBeckitt:
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@UKMedLibs What about the K4H blog updates for library strategy? Or regional HEE newsletters? #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
RT @tomroper:
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
I find the K4H blog really useful #ukmedlibs https://t.co/wZDp94W1CB
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
@TraceyPratchett @UKMedLibs @RoyLilley I've just signed up! #ukmedlibs https://t.co/e8lc8SXoY2
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Have the new regions set up newsletters and other communication channels yet? #ukmedlibs
Talk_Leicester @talk_leicester
RT @pipdivall:
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@Librarianpocket @UKMedLibs @RoyLilley It's very good mix of discussion and current awareness stuff too #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
The NW CL blog is great too if anyone hasn't already seen it #ukmedlibs https://t.co/EBtgNZMlvb
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Shall we move on? Q3 How does keeping up to date benefit your professional practice? Why is it important? #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@samanthaclare @Librarianpocket @UKMedLibs @RoyLilley Great stuff! There must be loads of things Kings Fund, Nuffield loads of general policy sites #ukmedlibs anything we've not mentioned?
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@samanthaclare @Librarianpocket @UKMedLibs @RoyLilley This is why I redirect to folders so I can skim or mark as read ;) #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
Q3 As a manager it helps me drive the direction of our service. Also to anticipate demand / opportunities #ukmedlibs
Barbara @missybabz
RT @Hollingtonn: Hi everyone! I'm Holly, Outreach Librarian @SASHLibs #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@Librarianpocket Q3 I also used when planning and delivering CL services ... for me its all about "alignment" at all levels #ukmedlibs @Map_toolkit
Barbara @missybabz
And a very fine librarian she is too, having worked with her in her previous role!!! https://t.co/r8cMMIjHOy
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
Keeping up to date definitely informs where I might look for particular information. #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@UKMedLibs I think some HEEs have newsletters as we've published something in one of the South ones, haven't seen a NW one tho #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
Q3 We can't always support all parts of the Trust, so knowing where priority areas are is really helpful #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
Also allows me to be aware & sensitive to any organisational politics #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
Q3 I've used our trust priorities to shape my annual report, will be crucial for strategy writing next year #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
Q3 When national developments such as NMC Revalidation have been launched we've had a response ready #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
RT @Librarianpocket: Q2 We've probably covered lots of these, should also add that our regional #heelks leads are always v politically aware #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
Q3 I've also linked projects to the bigger picture for #chartership and plan to do so for #fellowship really focussed my mind #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
So, it’s 20:45. Perhaps we should talk about the MAP toolkit? #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
Oh go on then 😊 #maptoolkit #ukmedlibs https://t.co/xmLCmw6OqE
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@samanthaclare @Librarianpocket @UKMedLibs @RoyLilley Email overload is always a challenge, we cant know / remember everything #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
Yes! We started Hot Topics as short briefings for LKS staff which could also been used to share within their own Trusts #ukmedlibs https://t.co/txWdxkDoGs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
Sorry if I keep disappearing technical difficulties! now using phone #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@UKMedLibs Thanks Tom, that would be good so has anyone used it or looked at @Map_toolkit #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
Hot Topics for LKS staff produced by @Map_toolkit #ukmedlibs https://t.co/58IKVXlAVY
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@tomroper @Librarianpocket We are all volunteers and we are keen to make it responsive and relevant #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
It's a great CPD opportunity if anyone would like to join our @Map_toolkit team 😊😊😊 https://t.co/ooG9uoINHg
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
We've also added some word documents (policy briefings) to some drivers which can be shared (courtesy of JET Library) #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
There are lots of hot topics that we have in common across the NHS; it makes sense to share the workload #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
RT @Librarianpocket: It's a great CPD opportunity if anyone would like to join our @Map_toolkit team 😊😊😊 https://t.co/ooG9uoINHg
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
And tell us, @TraceyPratchett and @Librarianpocket, what other exciting developments are coming with @Map_toolkit? #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
And if there are hot topics you'd like us to summarise let us know! @Map_toolkit #ukmedlibs https://t.co/XoiEhm9ACy
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
RT @Librarianpocket: There are lots of hot topics that we have in common across the NHS; it makes sense to share the workload #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@Librarianpocket @Map_toolkit For me, being involved in the @Map_toolkit really transformed the way I shape my service and make it relevant #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
We're delivering workshops (How to Demonstrate Impact) for HLG members and Shropshire librarians over the next few weeks @Map_toolkit https://t.co/aDhodvMWlF

UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@Librarianpocket @Map_toolkit I suspect the fall-out from the events on 8th June we’re not allowed to mention may throw some up #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@samanthaclare @Map_toolkit Some volunteers help with Comms, Twitter and how we promote - sometimes present at meetings #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
@UKMedLibs @Map_toolkit Undoubtedly! Think I better block out June 9th in my diary 🙈 #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@samanthaclare @Map_toolkit Or we are happy for people to lurk on the sidelines and help bring fresh ideas we're always evolving #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
@samanthaclare Oh really?! No more planned but we're open to invitations to regional groups or other meetings 😊 #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@UKMedLibs @Librarianpocket @Map_toolkit We're running a demonstrating impact session in Telford tomorrow and 26th June at for @CILIPHLG #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@UKMedLibs @Librarianpocket @Map_toolkit We'd also like to update our collection of annual reports, strategies etc to share best practice #ukmedlibs

@tomroper @UKMedLibs @Librarianpocket @Map_toolkit @BrightonSx_LKS Great, email it to me and I'll get it updated :) #ukmedlibs
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
Also we're keen to link into the K4H workstreams, so busy linking into Value and Impact toolkit and @Librarianpocket 1/2 #ukmedlibs
Victoria Treadway @Librarianpocket
I found it so useful as a new LKS manager to see examples of annual reports etc. Let's share our knowledge! #maptoolkit #ukmedlibs https://t.co/5V1QHV2wDw
TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
And @Librarianpocket is presenting in leeds to the Patient Public event in July @Map_toolkit #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
We’re at the end of the #ukmedlibs hour. @TraceyPratchett and @Librarianpocket, any concluding thoughts/messages for us?

TraceyPratchett @TraceyPratchett
@UKMedLibs @Librarianpocket My final thoughts are that policy and the wider context isn't just about lks managers, but all levels of staff #ukmedlibs
