Our services include:

• Access to around 12,000 online journals
• Evidence reviews and summaries
• Current awareness bulletins
• Clinical decision making tools
• Group, team or individual inductions
• Literature search training
• Book loans and book ordering

We offer an enquiry service, dealing with anything from straightforward requests for information, through to literature searches, to answer more complex or detailed enquiries.  

We provide one-to-one and group inductions for new starters and existing library members

Full membership of the library is open to all Trust staff, to social services staff who work within the Trust, psychiatry doctors on rotation within the Mersey Deanery area and to students, whilst they are attending courses run by the Trust or are on placement at the Trust. Proof of identity may be required.
