Library and Knowledge Services help our staff access quality information and evidence to make informed decisions about patient care and service delivery.  We provide a range of services to support evidence-based practice, education, life-long learning, research and information for service users and carers.

You can immediately access virtual services if you work for MPFT or are on placement in MPFT.  

We have two site libraries, one at St. George's Hospital in Stafford, and one at The Redwoods Centre in Shrewsbury; and almost all our services are also available online.

Get in touch to find out how the library can support you in your work, study and continuing professional development: Email the library: library@mpft.nhs.uk
