Eligible users who do not have an NHS Scotland work email address and password
We offer accounts to anyone who is involved in the public provision of health and social care in Scotland.
You can register at https://www.athensregistration.scot.nhs.uk
Select the appropriate group from, ‘Student’, ‘Scottish Local Authority’ or ‘Other’.
Complete the application process.
As part of the application, you will be asked for your contact details, job title, area of work, and organisation.
The application will be checked for eligibility, so account approval may take a couple of days. There may also be a request for further information if necessary.
The information you provide will be used to create an NHS Scotland OpenAthens account. It will also create an account on the The Knowledge Network Library Search.
After the eligibility check you will be emailed an activation link that will prompt you to choose a password and allow you to activate your account.
