The Medical Library, which is an affiliate library of the Cambridge University Library, serves

• students and staff of the School of Clinical Medicine
• Part II students
• University of Cambridge postgraduates and staff
• University of Cambridge alumni with a valid reader’s card from the UL (note, it is your responsibility to ensure you have a valid reader’s card, as we will not be able to register you if the card has expired)
• Part I students can join with reference access but are not able to borrow any books
• NHS staff working in the East of England region
• M.R.C. staff working in Cambridge
• others who may be admitted on application to the Librarian. A charge may be made to those wishing to use the library for purposes of commerce or profit.

 

NHS staff who want to join the library will need to fill in an online form (the form is here if you want to fill it in in advance). The form asks for details such as name, address, email, department and hospital box number. University of Cambridge staff and students do not need to fill in the form, but may need to speak to Medical Library staff to ensure they are registered to use the Medical Library.
