Welcome to the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust (LGT) Library and Knowledge Services (LKS).

Our Library and Knowledge Services manages two libraries, at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and University Hospital Lewisham. 

We also deliver a clinical information and enquiry service to all staff, students on placement, patients and their carers.  Outside contractors can use the Library facilities for reference purposes only.  You can see what resources we have available (and search our library catalogue) via Summon Discovery.

If you are a member of Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust staff, please go to the Library and Knowledge Services page on the Intranet for direct access to many of our resources and further information on what is available to you.

How to access our subscription resources

You can access our electronic resources from anywhere and on any device with an internet connection, using a single username and password.  Before you can access our subscription resources you will need to have an OpenAthens account.  It is strongly advised you use your NHS email address, if you have one, to register for OpenAthens.  This will ensure that your registration is automatically accepted.
