Athens
You will need an NHS Athens username / password to log in
to Clinical Key. If you don’t already have an Athens username register online
by completing this
online form. For more help using Athens see
our web page.
Login
If you link to Clinical Key from the link on the Health
Library Healthcare Resources page then you will go straight
to the Athens login page. Otherwise from the Clinical Key
login page, make sure that you click the OpenAthens login link and enter your
Athens username / password when prompted.

To use many of the really useful features such as
downloading ebooks, saving searches and using the presentation maker you will
need to Activate your account. This links your Athens account to an Elsevier
account. You won’t need to log in twice. This account will keep track of your
saved items (such as saved searches, reading lists etc) within Clinical Key.
After you have logged in, if your name is displayed in the
top left, then you have already activated your account – note that you may have
already done this if you have used Elsevier ScienceDirect ejournals. Otherwise
click on the Activate link.
