Your full name, title, surname, role and department are fed automatically from your HR record and are therefore not editable within the website.
The URL and heading on your profile page is set using the ‘preferred name’ field in the HR database – you can update that yourself using MyWorkplace. If your job title or institute/department are wrong, email hrhelp@sgul.ac.uk. If your phone number is incorrect or absent, you can edit that yourself in the Phonebook.
Updates take place in a nightly feed and you will receive an email notification to let you know that your data has been changed. Once you’ve received that, log in and double check your details have been updated correctly.
Write at sentence giving more detail about your role. Only 100 characters are available, so this needs to be short, eg, "I look after the social media channels and top level website content for St George’s."
Your personal contact details are also fed automatically from your HR record and are therefore not editable within the website. If they look incorrect, please email HR and ask for your record to be updated.
You can add additional email addresses or phone numbers, such as team email accounts or a phone number of an assistance. You can also opt to display just these shared details by using the Show/Hide toggles under each field:
- selecting Show for the team or assistant phone number or email
- selecting Hide for your phone number and email address.
Here you can include links to your social media accounts and an external website if you have a particular project site or personal site you wish to share. Please note, this is not mandatory and only advisable if you want views posted across your social channels to be associated with your position at St George’s.
Connecting to your social media accounts can help you gain more followers and drive traffic to your social media pages. This, in turn, can help you attract funders, connect with collaborators, build partnerships and network with colleagues around the world.
You can include a photograph of yourself here. We recommend you select a professional looking headshot and arrange drop in shoots during the academic year if you would like a new one taken. We promote these via George’s Weekly.
Please note, it needs to be cropped to a square shape, otherwise it will be distorted on the site. The ideal size is 400x400px. If you need help cropping your picture, email it to the Web Development team.
Please include ‘alt text’ to help visually impaired visitors understand the picture, for example, "A picture of Lauren Harper".
Headshots need to be high resolution (which can be achieved these days on a phone). The Digital Services team also run sessions that staff can book onto at the following times:
- Tuesday mornings - 10:00 am to 11:00 am
- Thursday mornings - 10:00 am to 11:00 am; or
- Thursday afternoons - 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Each session can accommodate a maximum of 5 to 8 people. You will need to collect a form the Digital Services office (next to Pret on the ground floor of Jenner Wing - the other side of the corridor). Once the form is completed, call 0208 725 2600 and a member of the Digital Services team will book your place for you.
This content appears on your profile homepage so we recommend all staff add 1-2 paragraphs as an introduction to themselves and their role. To add text, click on ‘text’ and then use the editor window as you would use programs like Word, for example:
My main responsibilities are….
I look after….
My focus us…
Contact me about….
