Request a journal article or other publication

BSMHFT Staff, Experts by Experience, and members of the LEAR (Lived Action Research Group) are welcome to request copies of academic and research articles and other healthcare information. Service users and carers are entitled to a single copy of a healthcare article.

If you would like a copy of a journal article, book chapter, or another publication (subject to copyright permission) we can search our evidence collections and items held at other NHS Libraries and the British Library. In most cases, this will be provided free of charge and will be emailed to you as an electronic copy. Should you require a print copy or in an accessible format please let us know and we will do our best to help. We aim to reply within 48 hours Mon-Fri (excluding public holidays).

Please email details of your request to: bsmhft.interlibraryloansm@nhs.net
