Request to borrow

This site is for the use of staff employed by the South and East Metropolitan Health Services in Perth, Western Australia.

It is an internet site, staff using it outside of the WA Health network login with your usual network credentials.

Staff of other WA Health Services can access their own library's website via the WA Health Libraries Network (WAHLiN).

The Library allows students on placement with EMHS or SMHS sites to borrow whilst on placement and walk-in access is available to online resources.  No external access is available to online resources for students due to subscription licence agreements.

Medical observers who have a contract with EMHS or SMHS and who provide a copy of the contract  to Library staff may be considered.

Visiting medical officers and Nurse West staff have walk-in access to online resources but no external access.
