SaTHApprenticeships

We aim to deliver evidence-based knowledge services that promote diverse learning and facilitate knowledge creation to provide the right information to enable learning, innovation and research supported by skilled library staff.

Our Resources

Our health libraries hold over 15,000 physical book titles, including special collections for leadership, medical exams, leisure reading and healthy living. We also offer access to e-books and journals. All NHS staff and students registered with the library can access these resources (24/7 at both sites).

The library also provides access to online databases. In addition, we also provide training in how to find and use these resources, or we can carry out the search for you.

It is vital to support application of evidence-based practice to ensure the most appropriate treatment for patients. Some of this is delivered through CPD, but the library also supports it with alerting services, research and literature searches and resources such as UpToDate.

The growing importance of revalidation in ensuring that up to date practices are used in the treatment of patients is becoming more and more crucial in terms of putting the patient first. As well as providing resources to support CPD, we are also extending our collections to support staff who wish to develop their careers, such as supporting Nurse Practitioners, Nurse Associates and supporting ILM Coaching with resources.

We have resources to support all clinical and non-clinical areas of the Trust, as well as resources for NVQs, postgraduate medical exams (such as MRCP, MRCOG etc.), and management and leadership. If we do not have resources to support a particular area, we can obtain them from elsewhere or purchase them for the library.
