We're excited to announce that we have recently gained access to BMJ Best Practice, the point of care tool that draws on the latest evidence-based research to offer step-by-step guidance on diagnosis, prognosis treatment, and prevention. A robust evidence-based methodology and expert opinion are updating the resource on a daily basis.
Access is free with an EKHUFT OpenAthens account. Just follow these steps to log in:
|
|
1. Go to bestpractice.bmj.com. Choose Login, and then select the OpenAthens option on the next page.
2. After entering your OpenAthens credentials, you will then be promtped to create a personal account on BMJ Best Practice.
(This is so you can track your CPD activity, generate certificates, and log into the app.)
|
• You can access BMJ Best Practice from any device, anywhere.
• You can also access it via your app launcher when logged into an EKHUFT-networked PC. The app has also been added to EKHUFT's iOS app bundles.

Don't forget that as well as the thousands of journals you can access with your OpenAthens account, we also have access to the Health Service Journal.
Access to this journal is slightly different to our usual OpenAthens route however, and requires the setting up of a separate account. If you would like to have full-text access to the HSJ, you will need to:
- be a registered member at any of our three libraries (Canterbury, Ashford, or Margate)
- have an NHSMail account
Please get in touch with the library you are registered with to request an account.
|
|
|
Please note that you don't have to be employed by EKHUFT to get an account for the HSJ, meaning that GPs and community staff from other local Trusts can gain access, provided that you are also a registered library member.
