BMJ Best Practice - Information for medical students

BMJ Best Practice is an NHS core content resource - provided centrally by HEE and made available to all users who have a valid NHS-based OpenAthens account.

Students on NHS-sponsored healthcare-based courses are eligible for NHS/HEI OpenAthens accounts. This is an NHS-based account, available to students throughout their course and provides access to all resources within the NHS core content collection. These are set up for eligible Keele students and are managed by Campus Library (see either Paul Johnson or Steve Parton).

We have received reports of a couple of problems that students have come across whilst trying to log in to BMJ Best Practice.

When encountering problems with BMJ BP access try the following:
  1. Check you are using your NHS OpenAthens account. The username starts with NHSac - it should be active, eligible and within date
  2. If you can't remember your password, you can reset it online yourself.
  3. Try opening an incognito window and use BMJ BP in that
  4. Try this link to access BMJ BP which will take you straight to the OpenAthens login page
