OpenAthens
An OpenAthens account gives all NHS staff and learners access to a wide range of online resources.
We enable easy online access to key information and evidence resources, give you the tools to search for and appraise the literature that you need, and maintain a book collection which supports professional and personal development needs.
When you need support to search more widely for the best evidence to answer your question, we also offer an evidence searching service to save you time.
To find and access the full range of information and evidence that is available to you as NHS staff and learners (and find out how to avoid article paywalls!), start here:
You will need an OpenAthens account to access most articles.

If you need help with any of these ways of accessing journals, please contact us.
If you want to save time and be sure that you've found the best evidence to answer your question, you can request an evidence search from your librarians.
Provided for all NHS staff by NHS England, this tool allows you to search thousands of journals, multiple databases, e-books and more, all in one place.
After searching in the box above, if a yellow banner displays at the top of the page, make sure you log into your OpenAthens account to view and access the full range of results available to you.
