For students

All students on placement at Worcestershire NHS organisations can join the library service.  Benefits include:

• information resources to supplement your placement.  You can borrow up to 16 books at a time (either 1 or 6 week loans).

• a quiet place to study.  We can activate your ID badge to give 24/7 access to the libraries at Worcester and Redditch.

• public access PCs.  Library staff can set- up your IT login (for use across the Trust) and each library has PCs available for you to use.

• knowledgeable staff on hand to advise on searching for and using best evidence to support your placement and study.
