The NHS Knowledge and Library Hub is a discovery tool that allows you to search across a range of NHS and healthcare-based resources. The types of resources includes journals, databases and ebooks.
eBooks
offer you easy access to key established information. We purchase books from a
number of platforms and you can search some of them from the Knowledge and
Library Hub.
