Enquiry and Literature Search Service
We offer a specialised enquiry and literature search service accessible by phone, email, fax or in person. Simply contact us with details of the information you need and we can do the searching for you.

Information Skills Training
A range of information skills workshops are available through our rolling programme, or to individuals or small groups in their workplace.

Inter-library Loan and Document Supply Service
If we do not have either the journal article or book you need, we can get it for you through our inter-library loan and document supply service. You may request up to 5 items per week. In partnership with other local and national libraries, a search will be carried out by us to see if the book or article is held by another library and it will be borrowed from that library on your behalf.

Current Awareness
We provide regular updates on developments in health. We can set up tailored Knowledge Alerts to cut through information overload to deliver the latest information targeted to the specific needs of each health care professional.

Research Support
Support for literature review and funding proposals, copyright guidance, reference management, research dissemination and staff publications archive.

Knowledge Management
Knowledge management (KM) is the practice of organizing, storing, and sharing vital information, so that everyone can benefit from its use.

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."
