I am an external member

If you are a student or staff of any other NHS organisation, a GP or a member of the public not employed or registered at a HeLM organisation, you can join HeLM as an external member at an annual cost of £50. Please speak to a member of HeLM library staff or contact helm.consortium@nhs.net.

I have already registered
