Where to Find Us
Our libraries at Royal Bournemouth Hospital and Poole Hospital are welcoming spaces that offer print resources, high quality services and professional expertise.
Both libraries can be accessed 24hrs a day with a University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust (UHD) staff ID.
An out of hours card can be obtained for Poole Hospital Library and Royal Bournemouth Hospital Library for NHS employed staff without a UHD staff ID. Please contact us for more information.
Non-UHD staff should contact the Library in advance if you wish to use the PCs in either Library so you can be given a log in, in advance of your arrival. It is recommended that non-UHD staff bring their own device/computer to use where possible, as there is free Wi-Fi available.
