Library books and entrance door to library

E-journals

All NHS OpenAthens account  holders have full text access to thousands of journals online.

NELFT staff on a NELFT networked computer will be able to access most of our e-journals without having to log in. Public health staff and NELFT staff accessing from home or elsewhere may need to log in to OpenAthens.

To access journals via BrowZine

  1. Go to browzine.com click the red “Choose library” button 
  2. Start typing and select “North East London NHS Foundation Trust” as your library (public health staff select “Public health teams in Northeast London, Suffolk, & Thurrock”) – you will only need to do this once.
  3. Search for journals by title and subject and navigate to your article.

You may have to click on another “Login via OpenAthens” button / link before you get to the full text PDF of your journal article.
