Register for NHS OpenAthens – complete the online form to register for your OpenAthens username and password. This will give you access to our NHS-subscribed online resources such as ebooks, journals and databases. Learn more about NHS OpenAthens from our tutorial.

Use Library Search – Library Search is the library’s online catalogue. It allows you to search for books and ebooks. Our online tutorial Library Search for NHS Users will show you how to get to grips with Library Search.

Completing a Literature Search – if you need to do a literature search to look for the latest evidence, then we have the resources you’ll need. You can learn how to do your own literature search or you can ask a librarian to do one for you. Our online options can help you:

Finding Full-Text Articles – if you are looking for the full-text of a particular article, we can help you to do that. You can check our A-Z list of journal titles, complete our online tutorial to learn how, or request an inter-library loan if it is not part of our collection.

Nursing Revalidation – we are here to help you to complete your revalidation by providing access to evidence to support your work. Check out all the options we have that will help you on the Health Library website.
