Welcome to the chat. Let's start with introductions and ice breaker 'what is your favorite dessert?' #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Behind the account tonight is Lucy Sinclair, Information Specialist at the RCS. My favourite is GU key lime pie #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@CILIPHLG Hard choice! #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Housekeeping...remember to use the hashtag! #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Some excellent dessert choices! OK first question Q1) Have you participated in or received mentoring?  What are your thoughts on the experience? #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@sarahlrudd Oh what an excellent time to receive mentoring! #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@samanthaclare Are you a CILIP mentor or within your hospital Sam? If you don't mind me asking #ukmedlibs

@samanthaclare I bet that's rewarding...I need to get through chartership first! #ukmedlibs

Q2) Do you prefer mentoring within the library profession or within your organisation? #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
Whoops! Really late, sorry everyone. Good evening, I’m Holly for LKSS HEE. I am a BIG believer in mentoring #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
Q1. I received formal mentoring through my MCLIP and it was honestly the best part of the experience for me #ukmedlibs

Q2. Although I’ve been trained in mentoring as of yet I haven’t had the opportunity yet to act as a mentor. I’d love to do it though! Within the profession would be my preference #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@samanthaclare @sarahlrudd @UKMedLibs Hard but definitely necessary, because if you have different expectations then it won’t work #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@sarahlrudd @UKMedLibs GREAT IDEA! I’m meeting with UCL next week & will mention it #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@Hollingtonn @sarahlrudd This would be fantastic! ..getting those new health librarians in :) #ukmedlibs on a serious note this would have been really useful when I was studying
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Q3) Is mentoring done better formally / informally? #UKMedLibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@samanthaclare @sarahlrudd @UKMedLibs @NickPoole1 I think it would be great promotion for our sector as well. Showcasing our diverse and dynamic work! #ukmedlibs

@sarahlrudd @UKMedLibs Agreed. And that is a tough course! Guidance would be so helpful #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
I've found the universities tend to be quite academic focused...a good way to bring other sectors into academia :) #ukmedlibs

Q3. I think there is a time and place for both. I’ve definitely benefited from informal mentor relationships (hi @Rachel_Cooke 👋🏼) but for something like MCLIP you need formal boundaries. #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@UKMedLibs @Rachel_Cooke Sometimes the culture of the service really nurtures that sort of thing #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Q4)What makes a good mentor? #UKMedLibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
RT @JoelAKerry1981:

Q4. Active listening skills, coaching skills, a willingness to share experience and nurture #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn

@samanthaclare I think it all helps towards the end goal because it encourages reflection #ukmedlibs
