Library and Medline

The BMA library provides expert medical information services to BMA members and staff. We specialise in current clinical practice, medical ethics and education.
Our extensive collections of books and journals are supplemented by audio visual materials and a growing collection of e-books and e-journals.

Access to Medline plus is free to members and we offer a postal loans service, rapid document delivery, online search services and courses on finding medical information online.

The new BMA Library
The BMA Library has been relocated within BMA House.

New prices from 1 May 2008
Most of our new document delivery prices have been increased by 2.5% . The new basic rate for articles has gone up to £3.60 + VAT. Full list of prices.

New, improved web forms
Our web forms have been redesigned to allow members to request urgent action articles via the web and also to give personal members the choice of being invoiced rather than having to pay in advance with a credit/debit card. Personal members must make a copyright declaration before any request can be processed - this can be done via the web form or by requesting copies of our copyright declaration form which can be faxed to us once completed. For further details, please contact the Library on 020 7383 6625 or email us at bma-library@bma.org.uk.
