We are building a positive research culture at St George's where researchers feel empowered to do their best work and develop their career.
We're putting £5.8 million of Office for Students funding towards improving facilities and equipment for our students.
St George’s celebrated its annual Research Day on Wednesday 11th December. The day showcased the hard work, latest findings and achievements from the vibrant research community.
Your gift to St George’s will inspire our students, our research, and our community, and ultimately impact the patients who will benefit from the care and expertise of our graduates around the world.
Enjoy stories of impact and support from generous donations.
The library can support researchers in many different ways: from finding and managing research to support for open access requirements.
Below you will find some useful information about conducting research. This is complemented by our research support programme, which consists of a series of bookable training sessions to help you benefit from the full range of resources and services provided by the library. If you do not see the course you want, or if you would like additional support, please contact your liaison librarian.
Your liaison librarian can help you plan your search and identify appropriate resources for your topic, and training sessions are available for key search tools such as Ovid and EBSCO.
Our Principles of effective literature searching guide offers a step-by-step guide to the basics of conducting a search. Additional guides for key resources can be found on our help pages.
We can also conduct literature searches on your behalf through our Clinical and Research Enquiry Services (CARES).
