Welcome to the Subject Guide for Medicine (HYMS).
At the moment our Libraries are in the process of reopening our buildings. Further information on each site can be found below.
A summary of NHS services is available by typing Coronavirus into our regular FAQs. These also provide additional information and guidance about accessing our e-resources, using the University, VPNs, etc.
You can contact me, your Academic Liaison Librarian, for help via email or to arrange an appointment via video chat or phone. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need support.
The Brynmor Jones Library is open in a limited capacity. Book a seat and click and collect services are now available. Further information can be found on our Coronavirus Update page.
A lot has changed this academic year, but the Library remains on hand to help you. Whether you're new to the University or returning, there's a lot to know about. We've summarised the key information in the videos below, but don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any support.
