Our services

The library and knowledge service offers a wide variety of services to help you find the information you need to support outstanding care. To access all of these services you need to register with us by completing a Membership form (opens in new window).

You will also need to register for an OpenAthens account to access e-resources. Resources are then accessible from any computer or mobile device connected to the internet.
