STEP 1

Access DynaMedex on an OUH PC or via OpenAthens

The first step is to access the OUH version of DynaMedex. There are two ways you can do this. 

Option One: Via an OUH PC (works on any OUH PC, OUH VPN or authorised network)

• Log in to an OUH PC and access the OUH version of DynaMedex via this link.
• You will also find a link to the OUH version of DynaMedex in the OUH intranet Clinical Zone.  
• This will take you to the DynaMed homepage. If you see a box on the right of the DynaMedex page indicating that your access is courtesy of, 'OXFORD UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS TRUST', then you have successfully signed in to the OUH version of DynaMedex and can move on to STEP 2 (create a personal user account).

• If you do not, follow the instructions below for home/private network users. 

Option Two: Via OpenAthens (works on home/private networks)

• Go to the DynaMedex website and log in via the 'Sign In' button on the right of the page. 
• Click on the OpenAthens link at the bottom of the screen and log in with your OpenAthens credentials.  
• Proceed to STEP 2 for full functionality (create a personal user account).

STEP 2

Create your free personal user account. 

A personal account is required to access the mobile app for on-the-go (and offline) access, anytime, anywhere. It is also needed to save searches and set up personalised alerts. 

Account Setup

• To create your account, log on to the OUH instance of DynaMedex (see STEP 1) and click the 'Create Account' button on the right hand side of the page. 

• Complete the online form
• Return to dynamedex.com and sign in with your new credentials. 
• Use your new account to access DynaMedex from anywhere (from now on you can skip STEP 1 and just sign in from dynamedex.com with your personal account).  

Personal Account Benefits

• Use your personal user account to access DynaMedex on any device or network
• Track your usage for CME and MOC credits 
• 'Follow' topics by setting up personalised alerts.
• Save searches.

Resetting Your Password

• From the Sign In Screen, click 'Forgot password?'
• Enter your email address and click 'Continue'. You will be prompted to check your email for a security code.
• Enter the security code and set a new password.

STEP 3 

Download the mobile app

• Download the mobile app for quick, on-the-go access. 
• The app is available on Google Play (Android) and the App Store (iOS) 
• The app is compatible with any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 10.0 or higher or any Android device running Android 5.0 or higher.  
• Search for 'Dynamed and Micromedex' and download the app. 

• Open the app on your device, tap 'Sign in' and enter your personal user account credentials (see STEP 2 for this information)

• Your personal account credentials will authenticate the mobile app for 3 months, after which you will be prompted to re-enter your account credentials
• At this time, the mobile app can only be used while connected to the internet 

Mobile Browser

If you don’t want to download the app to your device, you can access DynaMedex on your mobile browser with your personal user account credentials. The mobile browser experience mimics the web version of DynaMedex.

Simply enter ‘dynamedex.com’ in your mobile browser (Safari, Chrome) and log in with your personal user account credentials.
