24 Hour Access

During unstaffed hours the library can still be accessed by staff and students on placement via a Trust swipe card. To access the library during unstaffed hours you need to enter through the entrance on the left hand side of the Education Centre.

If you are a member of the library but you don't have a Trust swipe card (e.g. DCHS, Derby University Student), you can still get access to the library out of hours. All you need to do is visit the security desk (at the front of the Hospital next to Cafe @ the Royal), show them your library card & sign for a temporary swipe card.
