We are a small, friendly library team specialising in mental health and learning disabilities based at Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
We also offer a wide range of resources supporting a wide range of clinical and non-clinical information needs, including nursing, occupational therapy, admin and managerial roles.
If we don’t have something you need, we will try our best to obtain it for you via our interlibrary service.
