Please also ensure that you have looked at our Health and Social Care Guides page. If you require further help and would like to make an appointment with a Health and Social Care Librarian, please have a look at our Marston Road drop in sessions and Swindon Ferndale Campus drop in sessions pages. If these dates and times are not suitable, please contact us via healthcarelibrarians@brookes.ac.uk or telephone 01865 48 3135 to make an appointment. We do expect all students to have read through our online guides and Brookes Virtual Tutorials before we see them individually.
