Thursday 6th September 2007 saw the latest development in the delivery of library services within the Trust. This day marked the official opening of the shared library service between Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Chester, Faculty of Health and Social Care.
All members of staff have worked hard over the past eighteen months to ensure this process was a success. The official opening of the shared library service provided an opportunity for staff and guests from both organisations to celebrate these efforts.
The opening ceremony was conducted by Dr. David Galvani, Director of Learning and Development from Wirral University Teaching Hospital and Dr.Chris Haslam, Provost of the
Warrington Campus and Dean of Corporate Planning and Development from the University of Chester. After speeches a "virtual ribbon" was cut to mark the actual opening.

A beautifully iced (real!) cake decorated with the logos of both organisations was cut to celebrate the occasion. Big thanks to Ian McKay, a member of the library staff at the main university campus at Chester, for making the cake. Guests were invited to the dining room for a buffet lunch and an opportunity to socialise with each other as well as tour the library. Many thanks to everyone who contributed towards the opening ceremony!
