NHS Wales e-Library for Health e-resources are available to all NHS Wales staff, contract holders (for example, general practitioners, optometrists, dentists, community pharmacists and social workers), trainees, trainers and students on placement and the Health and Social Care Department and Education and Public Service Department of Welsh Government.
In some cases, such as with students on placement or other specific cases throughout the Health Boards, entitled users may not have NHS Wales email addresses with which to authenticate. In these cases, individuals can still self-register for OpenAthens using an alternate professional email address.
