500 health books up for grabs!
University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust's Library and
Knowledge Service is supporting the city-wide NHS70 celebrations by
giving away 500 free brand new best-selling health books to members
of the public.
The Library and Knowledge Service is here to ensure that UH
Bristol staff, learners, patients, and the public, have access to
essential health information and evidence.
The library team will be at Bristol Central Library on Monday 2
July and in the foyer of the Bristol Royal Infirmary from 10am on
Tuesday 3 July, so you can take your pick!
There is a huge evidence base around the value of
reading to support health and wellbeing, and libraries have a role
as a non-stigmatised space that is both welcoming and empowering
for people with health concerns.
The free books being given away cover topics such as eating well
on a budget, giving up smoking, losing weight, and mindful
drinking, and can help you on a path to a longer, healthier
life.
The books are free for everyone. The service asks that once
you've read the book you pass it on to somebody else in Bristol and
drop us an email at library@uhbristol.nhs.uk
to let us know what you thought.
