View the draft Program Conference, and – because it’s so great – Register for the Conference
This year’s big event is the joint HLA / HLi conference being held in Melbourne in late October.
This is an in-person 👩 event only so it could be a good time to consider setting aside time ⏲, perhaps planning a holiday 🚢 around the event.
As a bonus, it’s in wonderful Melbourne (3rd most livable city in the world, leaving poor old Sydney in its wake …)

Medical College Accreditation Project sounds dry, but is quite entertaining, Twilight Talks: engaging health consumers with public lectures is engaging if you are interested in consumer health, and budding bibliometricians can browse Bibliometric Analysis of Dental Informatics via Pubmed.
Inspired by any of these, or would like more people to know about something you have developed? You are welcome to send an exploratory email.

Work is being undertaken to demonstrate the important role health libraries play in Australian medical training programs. Here you will find an overview of the medical colleges and associations which have medical training programs with specific library requirements highlighted. Based on a review of documents with inconsistency and vague terminology, the below benchmark statement covers off requirements that Colleges and Associations should include as they update their accreditation requirements. HLA endorses the following Recommendations:
There is access to a curated collection of high-quality information via a health library with online access appropriately configured for physician training.
The health library is staffed by qualified librarians with expertise in literature searching and research practices who provide training and individualised support to trainees undertaking research.
The site shall provide access to a physical health library space with current and relevant resources, study space and computing facilities equipped with supportive software for research.
A report will be available soon. Contact gemmas@bhs.org.au for further information.
