NHS Evidence - Health Information Resources contains many important resources to help health professionals provide better patient care. It includes access to databases, full text journals, specialist libraries, the National Library of Guidelines and the Cochrane Library. An Athens user name and password is required to access some of the resources.

Athens

Athens is the name for the system which lets you access many of the electronic resources available to NHS staff. To use the resources you usually need an Athens username and password.

How do I get an Athens username and password?

You self-register for an Athens username and password by filling in a simple form on the intranet. From any PC which has internet access, type in the address https://register.athensasms.net/nhs. Press the enter key and follow the on-screen instructions. It's usually quicker and simpler to self-register from a workplace PC.
