Medicine, Nursing and
Midwifery students who are on placement at NHS organisations are eligible to
request an organisation NHS Athens account.
What is an NHS Athens
account?
An NHS Athens account is
a username / password that will give you access to online resources that the
NHS organisation has purchased, such as ejournals and databases. Whilst all NHS
organisations can access content purchased nationally many organisations buy
extra resources for their staff.
You may find that NHS
organisations buy different resources to those available via your university
login, so by maintaining both login details you can access more resources.
How do you register for
an NHS Athens account?
You are eligible to
request an NHS Athens account from the NHS organisation that you are on
placement with:
- You need to complete the online form.
- Please use either an NHS-based email address (if you are given one) or your university email address. Personal email addresses such as gmail, Hotmail etc will be rejected.
- Make sure that you complete all the sections of the form accurately.
- You will be sent an email to activate your account and set up your password – you must complete the instructions in this email.
- Requests need to be approved by the Athens administrators. If you use an NHS-organisation-based email address you can be approved automatically. Otherwise the admin will check that you are a valid user.
Placements at different
NHS organisations
If you move to a
different NHS organisation for your next placement you can transfer your NHS
Athens account to that organisation – see our Athens page
for details about “changing your NHS organisation”.
