How do we choose the books?
The majority of our books are purchased following recommendations from library users. Knowledge and Library Services staff have also identified topics for inclusion and expanded the collection.
We like to know what has helped you, so please let us know if you have any recommendations to add to the collection whether that be a single book, or a topic area you feel is missing.
How can I get them?
Any member of UKHSA staff can visit a site library and borrow a book. Staff based on a site without a site library, or staff working from home can email libraries@kls.ukhsa.gov.uk and have books posted to them.
More than books…
Whilst we love books, other resources are available for UKHSA staff to support your learning and development. Please visit the Learning and Development page on UKHSA Pulse.
