NHS Athens registration for HE
students and teachers to provide access to the NLH resource – pilot
project
The main aim of this pilot project
is to test and develop a process whereby medical and nursing students may have
access to nationally procured NHS Athens resources from the commencement of
their education course (see eligibility criterion (p) http://www.library.nhs.uk/forlibrarians/content/corecontent/athens/eligibility);
this is in full agreement with suppliers and with the encouragement of the GMC
to ensure early integration of undergraduate education within the clinical
environment.
The pilot began in May 2008, with
the following institutions taking part in the first instance: University of Southampton, King’s College London,
University College London. A small number of additional institutions (currently
being confirmed) will be taking part during the latter part of the pilot, which
is due to end on 31 July 2009. The pilot is focussing on reviewing the processes
involved in registering higher education students and teachers for NHS Athens
accounts and on capturing lessons learned. Betsy Anagnostelis of UCL
Library Services, who is coordinating the pilot on behalf of the current
participants, will be providing progress reports to the Content and Collections
Development Group.
Meanwhile, students of non-pilot
institutions continue to have access to NHS Athens accounts only whilst on
placement or attachment with NHS organisations.
