Staff library service

We provide a free library and information service in support of patient care to employees of East Cheshire NHS Trust and students on placement. Our collection includes over 6,000 books, journals, DVDs, CD ROMs and specialist databases.

To give staff ready access to the latest news and research, we have also developed a series of web pages organised by clinical speciality.

We also have a leisure collection comprising both fiction and non-fiction titles. Staff can access networked computers as well as self-service printing, photocopying and scanning facilities. There is an informal seating area where you can browse the daily newspapers in addition to an upstairs study space, suitable for quiet study or group work.
