The inaugural South London Health Libraries (SLLIB) group mini conference will take place on Tuesday 29th April 2025 at the Macadam Building (Strand campus), King’s College London. This will be a full day, in person event and attendance is free of charge.

Of interest to all library staff supporting NHS staff the conference will consist of a mix of lightning talks and longer presentations focussing on sharing best practice, innovation and offering a chance for staff to reconnect.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided and there will be plenty of opportunities to chat with colleagues.

Places will initially be available to all staff working in a SLLIB library (please see this list if you aren’t sure) and then, if spaces remain, to other NHS-facing & Clinical Librarians in London & South East.

We particularly welcome submissions from library assistants and early career library staff.
