Health Services Library for NHS Staff: eBooks for NHS Staff

Importance of eBooks for UHS staff

To deliver high quality care and support to patients, service users, carers and families, health and care staff need access to current and robust knowledge.  
eBooks are a key means to make knowledge available to the health and care workforce. This is a distributed, mobile workforce comprising busy, time-poor staff: we cannot reasonably expect them to visit physical libraries to access print books.

If there are particular books that you would like to to buy in electronic format then let us know using the Book Request form, below.
