  • Document supply services and interlibrary loans; including loans from our collection
  • Training on how to use CKN, searching research databases and EndNote for referencing
  • Literature search services (we provide results to you - not applicable for private study)

Please note, if your research is affiliated with a University, you may also be entitled to access their library services and collections.

Literature searching

We provide literature searches for patient care and safety, professional development, research and service development (work related).

For private study, we will coach you on how to plan and undertake a search using research databases. Contact us to make a time.
