SUMMARY:ASPECTS 2: So you want to be a Health Librarian? [TG1/ASPECTS2_Heal
 th]
DESCRIPTION:Twitter: @cpd25_M25 #cpd25\n\nThis workshop is part of the cpd2
 5 Aspects programme\, aimed at library staff looking to acquire additional
  skills and knowledge or staff working towards Chartership.\n\nHave you ev
 er wondered how subject specialist librarian roles differ from one another
 \, or how you might transition into specialist subject support? Following 
 on from CPD25’s popular ‘So you want to be a librarian?’ programme\,
  this event is aimed at those working in libraries interested to learn abo
 ut the peculiar joys and challenges of working as a health information pro
 fessional.\n\nOur speakers will provide insight into the missions and goal
 s of their institutions\; their day-to-day responsibilities and ongoing pr
 oject work\; the skills and experiences they have acquired and developed t
 hroughout their career paths\; advice for aspiring professionals and expla
 in why\, even in the midst of a global pandemic and unprecedented pressure
  on health services\, they love doing what they do.\n\nYou will have the o
 pportunity to ask questions after each presentation.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nCarol
 ine De Brún: Knowledge and Evidence Specialist at UK Health Security Eng
 land (formerly Public Health England). My current role involves finding th
 e evidence to inform public health decision-making. I have worked in medic
 al libraries in various settings since 1999. Throughout my career\, I have
  focused predominantly on information literacy\, evidence based practice\,
  knowledge management\, and improving access to good quality health inform
 ation for all. More recently\, I have been supporting the International Fe
 deration of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) Evidence for Glob
 al and Disaster Health Special Interest Group\, exploring the role of libr
 aries\, and how they can support their communities\, during disasters and 
 times of crises.\n\nRuth Muscat: I have been a health librarian since 2004
 \, for much of that time in clinical support-type roles. I have worked at 
 the Hammersmith Hospital Library\, Imperial College\, and various UCL medi
 cal libraries including Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children and
  the Royal Free Medical Library. I then moved into public health as part o
 f the team of Knowledge and Evidence Specialists at the UK Health and Secu
 rity Agency (UKHSA\, formerly Public Health England). In between I tried a
  sideways move into sales\, but couldn’t resist the call of health libra
 rianship. I am currently a full-time PhD student with Northumbria Universi
 ty\, halfway through an NIHR Applied Research Collaboration-funded PhD ent
 itled Enhancing knowledge mobilisation skills and training for health libr
 arians: a comparative case study analysis in the North East and North Cumb
 ria (NENC).\n\nFran Wilkie: My current job role is as a Service Manager w
 ithin NICE’s Evidence Information Services team – which doesn’t tell
  you much about what I do! But I have more than 20 years’ experience wor
 king in the health information sector at both local and national levels 
 – supporting students\, clinicians and the library and knowledge staff c
 ommunity to find the best available evidence for decision making.\n\nDavid
  Bedford: I have been an Academic Support Librarian at the Drill Hall Libr
 ary in Medway since 2011. Here\, I support student health and medical prof
 essionals from Canterbury Christ Church University\, the University of Gre
 enwich and the Medway School of Pharmacy. My focus is on helping students 
 develop information literacy skills which will serve them as health profes
 sionals after graduation as well as during their time at university.\n\n&n
