The Uxbridge Library: “Firstly, it is nice to have a library full of just nursing books and journals as I have found that this vastly cuts down the time I spend looking for books. I also commend the staff for how quickly they have adjusted to the new library and they have continued to be a big help.“ (Rhiannon Hunt – Pre-Reg Nursing student)
