The SCIE Athens social care service has been developed to provide social care and social work staff with access to a range of evidence-based resources to support their practice and professional development and match the services offered to health care staff by NHS Athens.
A successful pilot project was run by SCIE from 2008-10. Following the conclusion of the pilot, SCIE decided to extend its service to all local authority social care staff across England and manage access centrally through a system based on recognition of a valid local authority "gov.uk" email account.
There is access to 14 e-journal titles specially selected for their relevance to social care workers, and an e-book loans service, as well as the national NHS collection of databases, e-journals and e-books. To register for your SCIE Athens account, and for more information about this, please go to www.scie-socialcareonline.org.uk/help/athens.asp
Please note that you are welcome to retain your NHS Athens account as well if you already have one, however this is only likely to be useful to you if you require access to locally-purchased NHS e-resources.
