Mid and South Essex Healthcare Libraries
Our purpose is to support the practice of evidence-based care within the Trust and ensure that all staff have access to the resources they need which will result in the best possible care and experience for our patients.
We are here for every member of MSE staff including all students on placement.
Mid and South Essex Foundation Trust has three library services located at Basildon, Broomfield and Southend. At Basildon and Southend, the libraries are in the Education Centres. At Broomfield it is in a self-contained building behind the Medical Academic Unit.
Our library teams include professional, qualified librarians with many years’ experience of working in healthcare who are supported by knowledgeable and responsive library assistants and information officers.
We support evidence-based care, research, education, and your personal and professional development in a number of ways:
