Hi all – I believe that we are ok – the general guidance includes this..

• Staff are free, in their private capacity, to engage in public debate or comment during the election period. However, they should not use the organisation’s official premises, equipment or digital platforms nor should they make comments based on information that is not generally available to the public. It must be clearly stated that the views expressed are those of the individual and not that of the organisation.

Hi Tom

Do we need to take into account the Purdah rules with the #ukmedlibs chats until after the general election? I know most people will be commenting as an individual but given that the topic relates specifically to the NHS, do we need to be a bit careful?

Regards

Sarah

May’s Twitter chat, led by guests Tracey Pratchett and Victoria Treadway, will look at how to stay up to date with NHS policy and strategic objectives, and how to use this information to benefit our practice and to plan and deliver library services. Tracey and Victoria will present the MAP toolkit and discuss how people have used it, and whether there are gaps or other areas the toolkit could cover.

Questions for discussion and more details are on the ukmedlibs blog.

Be online at 8pm on Tuesday 16^th May (as usual, a transcript will be made available afterwards, if you can’t take part).
