Taranaki hospital library

The library supports the clinical and research activities of all staff and health professionals in the community by providing access to information.

The library maintains a comprehensive print collection, as well as facilitating access to electronic resources. It also provides reference and interlibrary loan services and end-user training in database searching.

From 2025, primary care will have the same access to resources as hospitals.  Check your Health Pathways site for links.
