Open Athens

NHS Open Athens

The NHS uses OpenAthens to access online journals, databases, and other resources. 

Students on health-related courses which go on placement in NHS Trusts, will get access to both the national resources within OpenAthens, as well as access to resources specific to their local placement Trust.

Local Trust Resources

Students will sign up for their local Trust resources when they go out on placement. There is more information about the process available on the OpenAthens registration help web page.

National Resources

Students can sign up to the National OpenAthens resources when they go out on placement too, or they can self-register for this beforehand if necessary. 

Access to the national content, will last for the duration of a student’s time at university.

Eligible students can self-register for this via the Register for a NHS England OpenAthens account web page. There are help pages to assist with this.

Details of the national resources can be found on the NHS website.
