About Us

The Patricia Bowen Library supports the education, lifelong learning, training, research and clinical support needs of all Trust staff who are based at Westmid site and students on clinical placement. Staff based at Chelwest Hospital are supported by Imperial Library.

We have created an Institutional repository of all Trust staff  publications.  The repository will regularly be updated by library staff with publication information from healthcare databases, PubMed, Google Scholar and other sources. If you have submitted an article for publication and can’t find in our repository , please let us know. We will make sure to add it to our database. Full-text of journal articles and posters will be included with the author’s permission, and in compliance with publisher’s Open Access policies.

The fulltext links will initially be populated with publication data from 2017 onwards, with other historical publication data being added retrospectively. Please contact us  if you would like us to add your historical publication data for you.

If you are a member of Research Department staff and you would like to submit an item to the repository, please fill the online form. If you have a list of publications you would  like to submit, please e-mail us.

We can also set up Research Profiles which can be made public. Please contact us to set up your page or any other queries.
