​We provide access to three collections of ebooks:

  • 130 Oxford handbooks and textbooks from the Oxford Medicine Online collection, available to all NHS employees in Yorkshire & the Humber (hospital trusts, CCGs and GPs/practice staff). View a full list of the available titles. ​To login: select 'Login with Athens', **select 'NHS England' as your institution** (even if you are employed by RFT/Rotherham CCG and have a Rotherham FT or CCG Athens account), then login with your usual Athens account details. You can re-set your Athens account online, or contact us for help. 
You'll need an NHS OpenAthens password to access the collections: you can register for this online.  Your NHS OpenAthens password links you to your employing Trust and will determine which collection you can access. 

We've also brought together a list of free, open access medical ebooks.
