Facilities

The library contains a wide range of books and reports.  Use our online catalogue to find what is available both locally in NHS Dumfries and Galloway and nationally in all NHS Scotland libraries.

If the book or article you require is not available locally it can be acquired from one of our partner libraries.

Quiet study areas and computers are available at all locations.

Library staff are very happy to undertake a literature search for you, or help you to conduct your own research.  Please contact us for more information.

This is available for individuals or groups of staff.  Please contact Audrey Marshall to arrange sessions aimed at developing search skills or investigating the full potential of the many online information resources that are now available.
