Resources to support research

How to access print and electronic resources?

 All CWP staff and students on placement are eligible to join the library service.

To access our electronic resources an OpenAthens account is needed (this is a username and password system). This enables healthcare staff and students to use a search engine to find NHS-funded knowledge and evidence resources.

A good place to start is the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub.

The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health report was published in February 2016 by the independent Mental Health Taskforce.
