OUH Trust Staff

We provide a range of services to support the information needs of staff and students working for the Oxford University Hospital NHS Trust. We can help you find the evidence to support your healthcare practice, management, education, research, lifelong learning and continuing professional development.

Our team of Outreach librarians are happy to help you with literature searches, electronic database training, search skills advice, keeping you up to date, book and journal recommendations and general references enquiries. We are  happy to meet you at your place of work if you are too busy to come to one of the Bodleian Bodleian Health Care Libraries.

We have a large collection of books for you to consult and borrow; these are listed on SOLO (Search Oxford Libraries Online).

Electronic Resources

Please note that NHS Athens Accounts are associated with the old ORH and NOC Trusts and will remain like that for a few months until locally purchased e-resource issues have been resolved.
Access to some resources is only possible with an ORH affiliated NHS Athens Account.

There are many online resources now available for NHS staff, including e-Journals, e-Books, online collections such as UpToDate, and bibliographic databases such as Medline.

You can access these resources from any PC using NHS Athens by logging in to My Library, however this page is regularly updated with key resources and links to useful sites listed below.
