Easy Athens

A number of changes have been made to the Athens system to make life a bit more convenient.




We use Athens to provide access to all of our electronic resources via the National Library for Health.



The biggest change on a day to day basis is that the main login point has been shifted to the top right hand side of the http://www.library.nhs.uk/ page. Helpfully most people will find that they can now login in using their email address and Athens password rather than the harder to remember username.



If you have forgotten your details there is much better support with a simple guided process to reset your password.


A new registration system will allow people to register on any NHS based computer as before but will also allow rapid registration from home if you have access to your NHS email away from work (this mostly applies to people with NHS.net email accounts).



A big step forward is the ability to keep your Athens login as you move from Trust to Trust. This ensures you will not lose any alerts or searches you may have saved on the system. To access this facility you should login and then access the MyAccount page. From this page you can alter your email address / password or indicate that you have moved to another NHS organisation in England.



Please contact us if you have any problems with your Athens login.
