Join

NHS staff

NHS users will need to complete an application form in order to join the Library. This is available from the Health Library enquiries counter. You need to bring your NHS ID badge in order for us to verify your employment. You will then be provided with a library card which you must bring with you in order to use our services. Please quote the barcode number on your card in any correspondence with the Library as this helps us to identify your record.

Membership is available to staff at: University Hospitals of North Midlands (UHNM), North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare, CCGs and ICBs in Staffordshire, and NHS GPs and practice staff within Staffordshire.

Students on placement

Students on placement at NHS Trusts in Staffordshire, which we support, are also allowed to join the Library. Your membership is available for the length of your placement. Please complete an application form and bring it to the enquiries counter.

Keele staff and students

Keele staff and students automatically join the Library when you start at University. Your Keele card acts as your library card. You must bring your card with you when you visit the Library, especially to take any books out. Please quote the bar code number on your card in any correspondence with the Library as this helps us to identify your record.

Others

The Library may be available to other individuals according to different circumstances. Users may request limited membership by writing to the Health Library Manager. A charge is made for this service.
