The Knowledge Centre
In early 2008 the Health Care Libraries opened a new Knowledge Centre to provide better support for the wide range of staff and services involved in patient care and research in the Churchill Hospital and Old Road Campus. The Knowledge Centre has replaced our libraries in the Churchill Hospital and Rosemary Rue Building.
Based by the main entrance of the new green research building on Roosevelt Drive, the Knowledge Centre is open to all who are eligible for Health Care Libraries membership and will complement and support the work of our Outreach Librarians.
