So what is an NHS OpenAthens Account?

If you’re working for the NHS, or are a student on placement (full eligibility criteria) then having an NHS OpenAthens login will enable you to access a wealth of electronic resources from wherever you’re logged in. Access e-journals, e-books, databases including Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Embase – all available with ATHENS login.

Contact the Library Team to get an NHS OpenAthens Account

Register online yourself here - however please note: Register from an NHS networked computer, and the registration will be completed with a short time. Register from a non-NHS computer and the process will take 5-10 days to complete.

Forgotten your password? If you already have an NHS Athens account but have forgotten your password, you can reset it here provided you know your Athens username and the email address associated with your account. Alternatively, contact us and we will reset your account for you.

What Our Library Users Are Saying...

"Apprentices now have greater access to resources, not only at College or University but in the workplace. The benefits are not solely logistical; the resources and services available to them via the Library & Knowledge Service are current, relevant and varied."

"The library provided me with the evidence base to support a service development of developing a early discharge detox policy. This has improved patient clinical outcomes. This also reduces length of stay and re-attendance at A&E."

"Literature searches carried out by the library staff assisted in the development of a new education program for unregistered staff in response to the Francis report."

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."

"The information I receive has a positive impact in my role as a Non-Executive Director. Over the past year in post I have found the library alerting service to be an invaluable resource it is a great way to be kept informed via the on-line platform that I can access at times to suit."
