Joing the Library - NHS staff, students, contractors & partners in Rotherham; NHS Clinical Effectiveness Team
If you would like to join the Library at Rotherham NHS Trust you can do so via the YorCat library Catalogue. The Rotherham Library & Knowledge service is now part of of YorCat, a consortium of health libraries across Yorkshire and the Humber.
Joining the Library will generate your library membership number and password which will enable you to search the YorCat library catalogue to request books from any of the participating libraries to be sent to this library for you to borrow.

Joining the Library - if you live or work in Rotherham and would like to borrow health promotion resources
- Please email us at rgh-tr.knowledge.service.nhs.net for a Non NHS membership form if you are live or work locally and have an interest in health promotion (e.g. teachers, school/college students, youth workers, volunteers, early years workers etc).
Our resources can be borrowed by all staff and students working in TRFT, the Rotherham ICB and independent contractors (GPs, pharmacists, dentists and opticians), Rotherham Public Health, Rotherham Hospice, social services staff involved in patient care and students on placement within the organisations we serve.
In addition, teachers, school and college students, youth workers, early years workers, volunteers and other groups with an interest in health promotion who live, work or study locally are also welcome to use our health education resources. Contact us if you would like to check your eligibility.
NHS staff are welcome to borrow items from our collection of IT and Display Equipment.
Our standard loan period for books and health education resources is four weeks. You may borrow up to ten items at a time. Books will automatically renew five times unless they are requested by another borrower or you have reached your renewal limit. You will then need to return the items or see a member of staff to reissue should you require them for longer.
Please contact us to renew other equipment and resources. These items can also be booked out in advance.
Search our online catalogue to find out what we've got. If we don't have the item you're looking for, we offer an interlibrary loan service. We're also always glad to receive suggestions for new items for the collections: please contact us with your ideas.
