The Library has a wide range of medical, nursing and AHP textbooks covering all clinical specialties. We also have books on non-clinical subjects such as mentoring, coaching, leadership, doing research and much more. All East Cheshire NHS Trust staff are able to join the library and borrow books. If you are unsure where to start please speak to a member of library staff and we will be happy to help you.​
