What is an NHS OpenAthens Account? Am I eligible?

Only students on NHS commissioned courses are eligible for an NHS OpenAthens account. This does not include this course.

 If you are not on an NHS commissioned course, your placement trust may provide you with a log in for the duration of your placement, however not everyone is eligible. 

Many of the resources available via the NHS OpenAthens account are the same as the ones you have access to via the University of Greenwich. However, the NHS OpenAthens account is a useful addition as it supplements your access with a few NHS only resources.

Where can I access NHS resources?

Using a library whilst on placement

Your placement trust may also have a library you can use. Check here to see if there's one where you are based on placement: http://www.hlisd.org/

BNF and BNFc App 

The British National Formulary (BNF) and the BNF for Children (BNFC) are both freely available online without a log in.

Please see this 'How To Use' guide here:  How to use BNF Publications online | About | BNF | NICE

Some people find the mobile app useful. You can download both of these for free for iOS and Android devices - take a look here for more information: BNF & BNFC App | RPS

The NHS Knowledge and Library Hub

The NHS Knowledge and Library Hub collates a large range of knowledge and evidence resources in one place. It offers access to journals, books, clinical tools, NICE guidelines, e-publications and databases like Medline and CINAHL

Use your NHS OpenAthens details (if applicable) to access the full text of journals and books.
