Update on accessing our library services

Our library loans, document supply, and services are still available for members

While our physical library space has closed at our former Wimpole Street office, you can still access everything you need by using our online and postal services.

Members can browse our online catalogue, request physical items by post (free anywhere in the UK), and access a wide range of eBooks, journals, and eJournals. UK and Ireland-based Essential members and above can borrow up to 10 physical items at a time. Student members can borrow up to four. Overseas members can still access everything apart from physical loans.

To use the online catalogue, you will need to ensure that you are registered with the library. You can contact our team to get started.

Our dedicated team are also still available to assist you with research inquiries by conducting thorough research across trusted platforms such as Medline or Cochrane, delivering comprehensive results within two business days.

You can still return physical items to Wimpole Street until July 2025, either by post or by using the drop box outside the building. Please note that some requests may take a little longer than usual.
