As a student in the Faculty of Biology Medicine and Health, you may spend a proportion of your time in a clinical setting away from the University campus. This page brings together information on resources and services for students on placement.
The following checklist will help you to remember the things you need to do before you go on your placement:

Getting the books you want
NHS placement organisations will often be supported by a physical library service. Listed below are several local hospital libraries which may take students on placement. For specific information about the library at the hospital you are located at, please click on a link below:

While you are on placement you can register for an NHS OpenAthens Account. This will enable you to access a wealth of electronic resources from wherever you're logged in. It is much quicker to register for an NHS Athens account from an NHS computer either on a hospital site or in a GP practice. If you are using a non-NHS computer or email address, your registration could be delayed for up to 15 days.
Sources accessed via NHS Athens include:
NICE Guidance - Evidence-based recommendations for the health and social care sector, developed by independent committees, including professionals and lay members, and consulted on by stakeholders.
