To access most of the online resources, you will need an NHS OpenAthens account, so don’t forget to sign up if you don’t already have one: https://openathens.nice.org.uk/. If you already have one and have recently moved to the Trust, make sure that you’ve updated your organisation and other details too. If you don’t know how, check out our new guide which shows you how to do this.
