Poole Hospital Library Access Changes
Poole Hospital’s Library has recently implemented changes to its access policies. Previously open to all visitors, the library now requires a University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) ID Badge for entry.
For Dorset Healthcare staff and students, accessing the library during off-hours now requires an “Out of Hours” card. You can email the library to inquire about this change or request a card at library@uhd.nhs.uk.
UHD ID badges, or “Our of Hours” cards, can be scanned at the entrance to access our libraries 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round. See blue arrow.
