There has recently been
a re-organisation of the NHS OpenAthens groups. OpenAthens accounts may have
been moved around and you may now need to register for a different group.
You may also be
supported by a new Admin. Your admin can help you with any problems you may
encounter using your OpenAthens account or problems you experience trying to
access resources.
Here is a quick summary
of what has occurred.
UHNM Staff
UHNM staff are supported
both by the Health Library, based in the CEC at the Royal Stoke Hospital, and
LERC, based at the Post-Graduate Medical Centre at the County Hospital in
Stafford. Both Cheryl Kent (myself) and Liz Haines can help you with any issues with
your account, although a number of staff at both libraries are able to deal
with minor issues.
North Staffs Combined Healthcare Staff
Athens Admin for this
group of staff is provided by the Outreach Team and these should be your first port
of call for support.
Midlands Partnership Foundation Trust Staff
Although MPFT staff are
supported by their own MPFT Library Service, staff living or working in the North
of Staffordshire may also use the Health Library Service and Athens Admin
support is also available from the Outreach Team based in the Health Library.
CCGs, GPs and Practice Staff in Staffordshire
The Health Library
supports all CCG, GP and practice staff working within the following CCG areas:
- Cannock Chase Clinical Commissioning Group
- East Staffordshire Clinical Commissioning Group
- North Staffordshire Clinical Commissioning Group
- Stafford and Surrounds Clinical Commissioning Group
- Stoke on Trent Clinical Commissioning Group
- South East Staffordshire and Seisdon Peninsula Clinical Commissioning Group
Athens Admin support for
this group of staff is provided by the Outreach Team and these should be your first port
of call for support. Staff living or working in the South of Staffordshire can
also use the MPFT Library Service, if that is more convenient.
Public Health Staff
OpenAthens accounts held
by Public Health staff are no longer supported by the Health Library. Please
contact the Public Health national admin for support at: Libraries@phe.gov.uk.
Any other OpenAthens users in Staffordshire
Any other OpenAthens
account holders who were previously supported by the Health Library, and have
not been covered above, have been re-organised into Regional Groups. If you
work for an organisation based in Staffordshire you are now part of the Midlands
and East of England group; contact details for Admin support:
Athens@nottshc.nhs.uk or 0115 952 9486
OpenAthens Registration
You’ll find more details
to help you to register for an OpenAthens account on our Athens web page. For help selecting which
organisation you need to register with see our table here.
If you are in need of
help feel free to contact the Health Library Service and we will help where we can or
direct you to further support if needed.
Please share this
information with your work colleagues, particularly if they have an OpenAthens
username.
