OpenAthens Administrators
The Athens system is administered by a network of over 700 library and information professionals. Every trust has an Athens administrator who looks after all Athens accounts for that trust. Regional administrators oversee the accounts in their region, and the national administrator, who is based at NHS Evidence, oversees all accounts in the NHS in England.
If you have a question about your Athens account please contact your local health library. If you have a question about eligibility, please contact the national Athens administrator, via our enquiry team, or your regional administrator.
