Cancer information library

Both centres have a well stocked cancer information library, containing up-to-date information on cancer awareness and prevention and on all types of cancers and their treatment.

Leaflets, books, videos and tapes are available for you to use. Trained healthcare staff are on hand to direct you to relevant literature or explain information that may be new.

A selection of information is also available in a range of different formats and languages.

Opening hours

The information library at Epsom Hospital operates a drop-in facility and is open Monday to Friday, 9am - 4.30pm.

The information library at St Helier Hospital operates a drop-in facility and is open on Thursday and Friday, 9.30am - 3.30pm (opening times may vary).

You can drop in or make an informal appointment to be guided around the resources. We advise you to make an appointment in advance to ensure that you are not kept waiting.

Both libraries are also open to staff working at the Trust. A small selection of books is geared towards healthcare professionals.
