Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) staff and library services

 From 1st October 2022, MPFT staff won’t be able to borrow books from the Health Libraries at Royal Stoke or County Hospital. MPFT staff will not be able to access our additional services from this date either, for instance literature search support and training. This is because UHNM’s contract to provide library services to MPFT staff will end then.  

Returning your books:

If you have books on loan, please try to get your books back to the Health Library at Royal Stoke or County by the end of September.


Your library services for the future:

You will still be able to borrow books from MPFT’s own libraries at St George’s, Stafford and Redwoods, Shrewsbury. They can send books to your workplace to save you travelling. They also have a collection of e-books and journals as well as other services. Please see their library website for more details and access.

 

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause - if you have any concerns about this change in arrangements, please e-mail: library@mpft.nhs.uk    

 

Best wishes

 

The MPFT and UHNM health libraries teams
