 | ISSG Search Filters Resource @ISSG_Filters RT @LAyiku: |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs #ukmedlibs chatter starts soon! Grab a drink, a snack, get comfy! |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs so are you all comfy now? Your host for the evening is @samanthaclare - please do introduce yourselves and get ready for a great evening! #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs question one coming up shortly - do say hello to your fellow tweeps! Welcome to anyone who is new here tonight - the more the merrier. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Of course, the ONE rule is that you must use our hashtag --------> #ukmedlibs That way people can follow along and everything will be collected up for sharing via @symplur for reading later. |
 | Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn Hi everyone! I’m Holly from HEE #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs so question one is here..... #ukmedlibs https://t.co/epR8cGpjCW |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @archelina @samanthaclare that's not uncommon! We're good at juggling things. #UKmedlibs |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn A1. I think career progression or planning is a great thing. I think it means having an idea of where you want to go & taking advantage of all the development opportunities you are given. But I also think you should be flexible! And realistic. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @tomroper good point as ever @tomroper so perhaps for others there is not always an element of planning or possibly planning has more to do with where family and home life is? #ukmedlibs |
 | Eli Harriss @eliharriss Hello! Eli from @BodleianHCL sporadically participating in #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @archelina perhaps not everybody has an active plan? The word "career" doesn't mean the same to everybody. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs #ukmedlibs and remembering hashtags too! 😁 |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs very good point here from @abombolo - plans are not static things, they change with circumstances, experiences, reflection, etc! #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Question two now....... #ukmedlibs https://t.co/NiEsoo7BdC |
| Eli Harriss @eliharriss #ukmedlibs Q1. It means something that I've never quite figured out. It means something that happens to other people. It means having the same job title for a decade, while the job has changed radically. |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn @abombolo Yes I think that’s so true! Your priorities change as you grow in to your career #ukmedlibs |
| Eli Harriss @eliharriss @samanthaclare @archelina @UKMedLibs @tomroper I'd have loved to go for Tom's job and move Brighton-wards. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs or perhaps to rephrase - what would you say to your younger self if you were to start out again? #ukmedlibs |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn Yes, many successful people I know have done this and it’s something I encourage for professional growth if the situation calls for it #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @archelina @eliharriss what's that saying again? Something like - if you want to make god laugh, tell her your plans! #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @abombolo that's a very large net to throw out though - some may prefer to focus on a few things to start with otherwise it can get overwhelming. #ukmedlibs |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn A2. This may seem a bit party pooper-ish of me but I think it’s important to keep in mind that we’re a small profession, with not a huge amount of movement up. That’s why sideways steps or different sectors may be a benefit #ukmedlibs |
| Eli Harriss @eliharriss #ukmedlibs Q2. I was mentored by a colleague when I joined the Bodleian Health Care Libraries, someone who encouraged me to send in conference abstracts, say yes to everything. That was a great start. Nowadays... that drive and energy is essential |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @alisonday3 @samanthaclare @archelina @tomroper that's fabulous - you never know where a move or unexpected circumstance will take you! #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs be brave and bold! #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Question three seems apt as we're beginning to talk about experience....... #ukmedlibs https://t.co/pr1m9bwRJi |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @JoWood04 wise words there Jo. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @scaredycait and do you see that as a benefit or a hindrance? #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs RT @SueLaceybryant: |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @ria_ze hello - come on in - whether you stay for five minutes or the whole hour is fine! #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs very good point - just because you're new in the role doesn't mean you don't have a lot to offer a project or initiative. #ukmedlibs |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn Q3. Take advantage of all opportunities thrown your way! Do CPD, join groups, take on projects, take leadership or management course, learn skills like coaching and show your enthusiasm #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs hosting a chat is great fun - the only thing is when people start answering questions that haven't even been asked yet!! 🤣#ukmedlibs Seriously though - great conversations here - keep it up! |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @scaredycait discovering what you enjoy (and don't!) is a real bonus. #ukmedlibs |
| Eli Harriss @eliharriss #ukmedlibs Shadowing the UHMLG treasurer would be an excellent way to learn about financial management& budgets, something that often comes up in job specs, something hard to learn on the job. Someone else will get that honour! For line management - mentor someone. It's fun. |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs so what do we mean by "careers" these days? #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs RT @eliharriss: #ukmedlibs Shadowing the UHMLG treasurer would be an excellent way to learn about financial management& budgets, something that often comes up in job specs, something hard to learn on the job. Someone else will get that honour! For line management - mentor someone. It's fun. |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn Q3. Also, super important, mentors (as I saw @alisonday3 mention). I had a great mentor for chartership but I’ve been so lucky to have some amazing informal mentors. They might not even consider themselves that but their support has been invaluable. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs question four (I need to keep up with you lot!) ........ #ukmedlibs https://t.co/eC0acTcpq1 |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @SueLaceybryant @scaredycait there's no doubt you've found yours Sue! #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @JoWood04 we welcome EVERYBODY!!! #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs absolutely - always worth finding out what doesn't suit you. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @JoWood04 very true - @samanthaclare admits she was lucky to have a near vertical path. #ukmedlibs (although that meant staying in one place for 13 years) |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs good point - it can be disheartening to try and focus on a straight path. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @JoWood04 EVERYBODY!!!! #ukmedlibs https://t.co/VnsBIYvVky |
| Eli Harriss @eliharriss #ukmedlibs Q4 I tried to move up, tried to move sideways, didn't get those posts, not sure what's next. I respect colleagues who change roles and develop, learn, change, especially depending on what's right for them and their families. Envious, moi? |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn A4. Definitely! I think it can be enormously beneficial and something that moved me in to health. Grateful I took the chance. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs we're a very collegiate bunch and that's why I love it so much. #ukmedlibs |
 | Jillian Ireland @jcmireland I’m going to quote you in a presentation for @MidwivesRGU in March Alison - my sentiments exactly (and it took a knowledge specialist to formulate into words!) @Mindful_Midwife |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs and so question five...... #ukmedlibs https://t.co/rjwbvK7sLB |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @scaredycait @eliharriss @tomroper never phrased badly - you SHOULD write - perhaps not today, but one day. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs question six.... #ukmedlibs https://t.co/XFpiApPbJ9 |
| Eli Harriss @eliharriss #ukmedlibs Q5 - Most people in this sector I know of have moved sideways. One of my colleagues has gone up and up in the same organisation. I suspect I'd have to leave to go up while remaining in the glorious field of health librarianship |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs I think that many people would read this even at 7/6! 🤣 #ukmedlibs |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn A5. I think that depends on a lot of factors. How much you like the organisation, your job and how long you’re willing to wait #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs fifteen minutes left and I give you question seven..... #ukmedlibs https://t.co/5m1gWMA4m0 |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn A6. All the best managers I’ve had (& I’ve been lucky enough to have quite a few) have always looked for opportunities or me to grow. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @SueLaceybryant no don't tell me that!! #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs I did do question six - @SueLaceybryant - you had me going there! #ukmedlibs |
| Eli Harriss @eliharriss #UKmedlibs Q6 - about managers encouraging staff with careers - I've been encouraged to join groups such as the mighty UHMLG, attend training, go to conferences (esp when I've got a sponsored place). It goes back to the Q1&2 answers, planning/new entrants. finding opportunities |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs RT @LibraryLyns: |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs now that I reflect on that question - I am not sure why I asked it - do people WANT to move out of the health sector or are we inviting people in? #ukmedlibs |
 | book up! @bookupblog Completely agree with this! Success looks different for everyone and there are so many different paths, crossroads and roundabouts 😊 🚗 #ukmedlibs |
| book up! @bookupblog RT @abombolo: |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs the hour is very nearly upon us so here is the last question of the session.......#ukmedlibs (something else being - not the job role you're currently doing!) https://t.co/TS8mv0Gq5W |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @abombolo that must be very tough. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs of course, this does assume that people are looking to do something else - that may not necessarily be true either. #ukmedlibs |
| book up! @bookupblog I'd agree with this from my own experience - you can have a better chance of a promotion if you are willing to change organisation. Libraries seem to be reluctant to promote from within sometimes 🤷♀️ #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @JoWood04 indeed - on both counts! #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs and now it is 9pm. Thank you all for such an invigorating chat - always worth coming along! Good night folks. #ukmedlibs |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn A8. Speak to the person doing the role you want, speak to the hiring manager. Make your ambitions known. #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs the transcript and statistics will be available on our blog in the next few days #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @JoWood04 do come again!! #ukmedlibs |
| Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn That was a great discussion @samanthaclare! Well done and thank you for leading #ukmedlibs |
| UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Believe in yourself - wise words indeed from @SueLaceybryant #ukmedlibs |
| book up! @bookupblog @scaredycait @eliharriss @tomroper Definitely write something! People don't realise how much interesting stuff they have to share from their experiences - it can really help others! #ukmedlibs |
| book up! @bookupblog "Values matter, valuing what we do counts" LOVE this @SueLaceybryant #ukmedlibs |
| book up! @bookupblog RT @alisonday3: |
| book up! @bookupblog RT @Hollingtonn: A1. I think career progression or planning is a great thing. I think it means having an idea of where you want to go & taking advantage of all the development opportunities you are given. But I also think you should be flexible! And realistic. #ukmedlibs |
