About us

The Academy Library is a fully-accredited library and information service with experienced and knowledgeable staff working on your behalf.

Services are provided for all staff and students at the Trust, and those studying or working within the local NHS community.

We can help you in your study, research, teaching, and clinical practice and we aim to provide the information and facilities that you need within a pleasant working environment.

Those people eligible for membership need to complete a registration form; please contact us for more information.

Information skills training

The Library offers training in how to fully utilise e-resources.

This involves registering for an NHS Open Athens Account and introducing a range of databases including:

  • Medline
  • Clinical Key
  • Health Research Premium Collection

We also show you how to access the Library Catalogue and how to order books from other libraries.

Ad hoc sessions

We offer training sessions to individuals or small groups as and when required.

If you are unable to get to the Library, the Library can always come to you.

We are happy to come to your workplace, department and provide individual or group training.
