Picture of Lisa Burscheidt, who is an Assistant Librarian at North East London NHS Foundation Trust

Hi everyone, my name is Lisa Burscheidt. I’m Assistant Librarian at North East London NHS Foundation Trust. I got my MA in Library and Information Science from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 2011 while working as a Library Assistant at the University of Essex—this is my first professional post after qualifying.

I’m a member of CILIP and the London Health Libraries Clinical Librarians and Information Skills Trainers group, CLIST.

I’ve recently joined the team of bloggers for The Mental Elf, a blog that appraises recent evidence in mental health. I think it’s really important to make this kind of information not just accessible but also understandable to the general public.

Outside of work, I enjoy running (preferably while listening to science-y podcasts like Stuff You Should Know) and reading comics/graphic novels and genre literature.

I’m looking forward to tweeting about my job and giving people an idea of the variety of what we do on a day-to-day basis and how we support healthcare professionals in their work.

Please note that, while I work for the Trust, the views and opinions expressed in my tweets are my own, not my employer’s.
