Health Information and Resources Library
The Health Information and Resources Library provides a professional library information and resource service to Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust staff, and health promoters in Manchester.
The Library combines the expertise of the MPHDS Resource and Information Service, and the NHS Manchester PCT Library service, which merged in late 2009 to create a comprehensive service providing resources for health promoters as well as a professional information service to enhance the evidence based practice and research of staff of the PCT. The Library then transferred to Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust following the changes under Transforming Community Services in early 2011. We now offer services to staff of the Mental Health Trust, and health promoters in Manchester. All NHS staff in Manchester are also eligible to access our basic services.
