Accessing Electronic Resources

The Strategic Health Authority Library Leads have procured "Core Content" - a range of electronic books, databases and electronic journals for use by NHS and other eligible staff. These resources are made available via the NHS Evidence Health Information Resources site together with resources purchased by NHS Evidence.

Access is controlled by the Athens access management system. Athens accounts can be set up at https://register.athensams.net/nhs/

You can check who is eligible to access the resources at www.library.nhs.uk/forlibrarians/content/corecontent/athens/eligibility .
