We'll no longer be active on Twitter / X from the end of August. We used Twitter for status updates, so we wanted to draw your attention to our website: royalberkshire-nhs.libguides… and ask RBH staff to join us on: royalberkshire.workvivo.com/…. Please bookmark these!

Exciting opportunity for a qualified (or equivalent experience) librarian to join us. The successful candidate will be in a key role, supporting clinical and non-clinical staff in the delivery of patient focused care using evidence to inform practice: jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jobadv….

We're currently celebrating South Asian Heritage Month here in the Trust Library - everyone is welcome to pop in and browse our selection of books on the topic, and also to pick up a copy of our dedicated Lib Guide which is filled with further information!

We’ve just discovered that the library.nhs.uk website is down at the moment, which means that the our short URL (library.nhs.uk/rbft) to the Hub won’t work. Whilst it's being fixed, you can still access via this longer URL: search.ebscohost.com/login.a….

All fixed now! (That was a bit quicker than we thought it would be!)

Reminder that we are unstaffed today- but that staffed services resume tomorrow. Why is the Library closed? Boxing Day is a public holiday celebrated in the UK (and countries such as Canada too!). You can find out more here about its origins: bbc.co.uk/newsround/46454700
