Evesham Health Library is now at the heart of the new Training and Development Centre in Evesham Community Hospital. We hope this will make it more easily accessible to those attending courses in the centre, and to those working in the hospital. The opening of the new Library co-incided with the first conference to take place in the Centre, the Provider Services Quality Conference. Those attending were enthusiastic about the new look and new location for the Library.
Like all our libraries, Evesham Health Library offers free membership to all NHS staff working in Worcestershire. If you'd like to borrow books, but aren't yet a member you'll find a registration form and all the information you need to join and get the best from our services are available from our web site at http://www.wkp.nhs.uk/
The library is staffed on Thursdays between 9.30 am and 1.30 pm, so you can drop in then to find out more about how we can help you. Staff from the Rowlands Library at WRH will be happy to help you with enquiries about using Evesham Health Library, or more general enquiries, from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Friday (tel. 01905 760601 e-mail Rowlands.enquiries@worcsacute.nhs.uk
As well as a collection of books for members to borrow (use the loans book to check your books out if the library is not staffed), the Library area also has computers for you to use, so it's a good place to come to look for information or to study.
Don't forget that our online catalogue (also available from http://www.wkp.nhs.uk/ ) gives you access to the book collections of all our libraries. You can request books from any site and have them delivered to Evesham using your ID no. from your library card and your PIN, which is available to members on request.
Evesham Library doesn't currently subscribe to any printed journals, but you can access many electronic versions via our A-Z listing on http://www.wkp.nhs.uk/ . If you need help with this, or anything else related to finding information and evidence for your work, study or professional development, please contact the Rowlands library.
