UpToDate access restored

Links to UpToDate from the Barts Health Library Catalogue and Intranet are now working. We would like to thank all our users for their patience while this issue was being resolved. Access is still available using your Athens logins (which also gives you access to a lot of other great resources subscribed to by the Knowledge and Library Service). Go to the UpToDate website and click on the Log in button on the right hand side of the page. This will take you to a login page and you can enter your details in the Log in via Athens option. You may be prompted to set up a linked account but you can skip this if you are not planning to use UpToDate regularly offsite.

For those not already familiar with UpToDate, it is a point of care tool to help you answer clinical questions quickly. It has a straightforward search box and offers topic reviews that include a synthesis of the literature, recent evidence and specific recommendations for patient care.

Athens access means you can use it at the location of your convenience and although it is not mobile optimised, it is possible to open the system on the device of your choice. You can self register for Athens from any Barts Health computer and once registered you can use it from any PC.

If you already have an Athens login but have forgotten your details or just need some help, contact the Library Team.
