Library resources
The Library has a wide range of textbooks covering physiotherapy and all clinical specialties, as well as non-clinical subjects such as research and leadership. All East Cheshire NHS Trust staff are able to join the library and borrow books. You can also search for e-journals, e-books and other online resources through the NHS Knowledge & Library Hub.
Keep updated
The library produces a number of current awareness updates and bulletins, including a Physiotherapy Update. Visit the current awareness page to read the latest issue or to subscribe to receive updates. You can also ask us to complete an Evidence Search on your behalf.
KnowledgeShare is our targeted current awareness service. Register with your clinical interests to receive fortnightly alerts sent to your email. Your KnowledgeShare profile can be as broad or specific as you need, and can be updated as your interests change.
