Well this novel virus is bringing many changes to our working and personal lives, so it was time for yet another new experience with our GEH Wellbeing Reading Group going virtual.

Clinical Librarian blog: Working from home
I felt the need to write a post today. I’m not sure what about, or why, but I felt the need, so here it is. I suppose what’s on my mind at the moment is keeping mentally healthy. I’ve very aware of my colleagues on the front line and their need for self-care to stay […]
Clinical librarian blog- Pandemic
So this is different then. Remember how things were a month ago? Or even 3 weeks ago? Or even a fortnight… Welcome to the new normal. Life at William Harvey Library has changed but also some things remain the same. We’re still open, but we’re operating with a reduced staff, and I’m working virtually. Which […]
Clinical librarian blog- 18 months
18 months since I started my clinical librarian role. 18 months of using my brain, being challenged, and rising to the challenge. 18 months of feeling welcomed, valued, and useful. 18 months of literature searches, critical appraisal, and journal clubs. 18 months of long commutes, travel mugs, and crumbs in the car. 18 months of […]
Clinical librarian blog- “we couldn’t do it without you!”
Happy new year! Can I still say that? Well I have, so…. I hope the new year is treating you gently. Here in the Midlands, it’s foggy, foggy, foggy, so who knows what January looks like at the moment. You find me in the last throes of chartership portfolio production. It’s currently with my mentor, […]
Clinical librarian blog- Season’s reflections
Felicitations of the season to you, dear readers. I hope you’re looking forward to some well-earned r&r. I’ve just scheduled my email out of office, always a highlight! I wanted to do a bit of a round-up of my year, but I find I’m not in a reflective mood- I’m looking forward to my Christmas […]
Clinical Librarian blog- on the cusp
Today feels like a day on the cusp. On the cusp of the election, on the cusp of Christmas, on the cusp of the year. I’m on the cusp of sending through my first chartership portfolio draft, and it’s been a long time coming. I think I’ve procrastinated far too much with it, but in […]
Clinical librarian blog- what we do all day.
Morning all! Pretty murky outside my window today, but it’s warm and bright in the library as ever! I’m hoping for a quieter day today, I’ve just run through the opening up routine, and I’m looking forward to the reading group at lunchtime, but other than that, it’s a day to get things done. Yesterday […]
Clinical librarian blog- R&R required!
Good morning readers, how’s life treating you on this fine day? I’m nearing the end of a very busy few weeks, so I’m looking forward to some R&R at the weekend! It’s been busy but productive, and very interesting. Last week my colleague Rayanne and I were fortunate to go to the International Clinical Librarian […]
Clinical librarian blog: Procrastination, reading and a coconut.
Hello dear readers, I hope the summer has been good to you so far. Unbelievable that it’s already August, eh? Time and tide wait for no librarian, as they (almost) say. Today has been a really pleasant one so far. There has been a well-being event right outside the library doors, and I snagged myself […]
