The Library and Knowledge Hub at Whipps Cross Hospital will be closed from Friday 24 April to Friday 8 May to accommodate Library refurbishment works. This will involve redesigning the library space to provide a wider variety of study spaces, as well as space to work collaboratively.

During this time, you can email Knowledge and Library Services on library.enquiry@bartshealth.nhs.uk or  telephone 02073638016. The Library at Newham University Hospital will be unaffected by this work.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience which this closure may cause to you.
