Listen to the patient - read about patient experiences from our Patient Voices collection

 We have created a collection of books written by people living with a range of medical and health conditions. They detail their experiences both of their condition and how they deal with the healthcare system.

Topics include;

  • mental health
  • dementia
  • cancer
  • stroke
  • eating disorders
  • parenthood
  • physical disability
  • learning disability
  • and many more

You can find the Patient Voices collection in the Library rotunda (at the end of the print journals shelving), or browse the collection online via Library Search.
