Renew Your NHS Athens Account

All NHS Athens accounts will have an end-date. This is because we do not know when staff leave the organisation and we need to ensure that only authorised users can access the resources that we have purchased.

When your account is due for renewal you will be sent an automatically-generated email from Athens / Eduserv. It will contain instructions on how to request your account to be renewed. You should act on this email promptly.

If you have registered your account with your NHS-based email address it will normally be approved and renewed quickly.

If you have not used an NHS-based email address, then there may be a delay as your account details will need to be verified, before the account can be approved and renewed.

If you are having problems renewing your account, then get in touch with your Athens Administrator.

Accounts which expire and are not renewed will be deleted off the system automatically after 3 months, during housekeeping procedures.
