How to register for an NHS Athens password

1. From an NHSnet computer

If you have access to an NHSnet computer, including all computers on the GOSH network, you should self-register.

· Go to https://register.athensams.net/nhs/
· Follow the screen instruction and click on Start registration process
· As region select London SHA
· Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Trust is within the NHS North Central London

The NHS Athens username and password will be emailed to you immediately to an email address of your choice; this does not have to be your GOSH email address.

2. From any other computer

If you do not have access to an NHSnet computer, you can still self-register at the website mentioned in 1, but it will take around 15 days for you to receive your KA24 Athens username and password.

It is quicker to complete an application form, available from the library or to download from http://www.ich.ucl.ac.uk/services_and_facilities/internal/library/stock/databases/ka24.html, and return it to the library. You will receive your NHS Athens account details by email and in the internal post.

Changing your password

You can change your password to something more memorable at www.athensams.net/myathens/. Log on and follow the on screen instructions for changing passwords.

Wellbeing rooms at GOS ICH

Image
For students and staff looking for a moment of calm from their studies or working day may be interested to know that last summer the EDI team introduced two new spaces to be the GOS ICH community. There are two wellbeing rooms, situated on the ground floor of the Philip Ullman Wing, where you can pray, meditate or reflect. It’s also a place for those who are looking for a calm space to take a bit of time out.  Room G0.1 is intended for multi-faith prayer and religious observance, and as a quiet space. Room G0.02 is a dedicated quiet space for wellbeing activities such as meditation, mindfulness practise, quiet reading, or for organised wellbeing activities (except on Fridays between 12:30pm and 2:30pm when it is reserved for prayer). To get to the rooms, cross the small bridge just outside Kennedy Lecture Theatre, and then go through the 2 sets of doors opposite Seminar Room 3 (which is just behind you), the rooms are on your left. To respect other users, please familiarise your...
