Greetings from the Bodleian Health Care Libraries! We’re the RSL’s sister library supporting staff and students across OUH (Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust), Oxford University’s Medical Sciences Division and the wider University, with libraries at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Old Road Campus, and Horton General.

We’re delighted to launch a new monthly series showcasing our latest acquisitions; new library books raring to be discovered. You’ll find these new arrivals on display in the Cairns Library book room at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

Theme: Nursing and midwifery

Our new books display doesn’t always follow a theme, but this month we’ve decided to focus on nursing and midwifery, in light of upcoming events such as International Day of the Midwife (tomorrow 5th May), International Nurses Day (Tuesday 12th May) and OUH’s annual nursing and midwifery celebration event on Friday 8th May. We are proud and honoured to support the nurses and midwives working at OUH.
