NHS OpenAthens (previously called Athens) is the single username and password for nearly all the library resources purchased for NHS staff. You can find more details of the resources throughout the pages of this subject guide.
The key links on this page will allow you register, update details and check on the different resources available to you.
Registration is straight forward using the online form:
Registration is best carried out on an NHS PC to ensure you are recognised as being eligible but you can also register from any PC provided that you use your NHS email address.
You can log in using your email address rather than the username but do retain your username in case you need to reset your password (3rd option in the list).
If you have difficulties with your OpenAthens login you should contact hcl-athens@bodleian.ox.ac.uk.
If you need assistance with electronic resources then contact hcl-enquiries@bodleian.ox.ac.uk.
For information on our current awareness services, please see the guide to keeping up to date
Most OpenAthens tasks can be carried out online but if you get stuck you can always contact hcl-athens@bodleian.ox.ac.uk
We have two helpsheets to show you how to access resources using OpenAthens
