Hello readers, you’re looking smashing today. There are blue skies and sunshine outside my window- deceiving me into thinking it’s warm out there.

Clinical librarian blog- Too many exclamation marks!
Oh wow, what a few weeks! Such a busy time, but really exciting too. I’ve attended awareness days, presented workshops and squeezed in a bit of desk work too. Firstly the workshop I presented. I mentioned it in my last blog post. It had seemed a long way away and then all of a sudden […]
Clinical Librarian blog- Chilling out, reading groups, and chartership.
Good morning friends, and it’s a frosty one outside my window today. I’m not a fan- defrosting the car is something I could happily never do again! Still the office is nice and warm, so I thought I’d do a quick update! I’ve been struck over the past fortnight by how quickly some things can […]

Clinical librarian- Billy’s a winner!
Hello friends, how’s the week treating you? I was about to type that I’m on the run down to a week’s leave, but it’s more like I’m skidding in sideways at full pelt. It’s been busy! I found time to have my flu jab though, so I’m a certified, sticker carrying Flu Fighter. Towards […]
