Improvements of the administration of the NHS Athens accounts

Release 4.4 of the National Library for Health website included a number of improvements to the NHS Athens self registration processes as well as making the benefits of registration clearer.

The most visible change for existing account holders, is the login area on the National Library for Health website that has been relocated to the top right corner of the page, providing a consistent place for login/logout.

From the header users will also be able to access a new My Account page that includes information about their account and provides links for them to change their registered organisation (if they move from one Trust to another, for example). They can also change their email address and/or password.

Further improvements include:
- Being able to sign-in with either your username or your registered NHS Athens account e-mail address
- Being able to recover forgotten passwords more easily
- Being able to get an automatic email 28 days before your account is due to expire
- Being able to make an online request to have the account renewed (renewal is not an automatic process)

A set of Frequently Asked Questions about the changes exists at http://www.library.nhs.uk/athens/selfregistrationfaq
