OpenAthens - what it's for and why you need an account

An OpenAthens account is your gateway to a huge volume of health care related resources. Having one will provide you with access to the latest evidence to support your practice including:

• Clinical Key - a large collection of high quality electronic books and journals (including all of the Lancet titles) with a simple to use, Google style search interface
• Databases such as Medline, the British Nursing Index, PsychInfo and HMIC (healthcare management) where you can search by topic and find many full text journal articles
• Packages such as PsychArts and the ProQuest Hospitals Collection (all full text)
• A large array of electronic journal titles covering all aspects of health and care
• Royal Marsden Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures
• BNF/BNFC apps

Once you have your account you can use all these resources from work, from home, from anywhere you can get onto the Internet with any sort of device, PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, providing you with instant access to the evidence.

OpenAthens is a vital resource to support your work and practice and to make it even easier for you, we have added a new video to our YouTube channel showing you exactly how easy it is to register for an account. If you don't have one why not get registered and see just how useful it can be?
