Users in Wales register for an NHS Athens account by visiting the NHS Wales e-Library for health website and selecting the Athens option on the homepage.

    Good app but constantly have to enter user name and password. As these are set by Athens administrator they are neither obvious or memorable. App desperately needs to solve this problem as hunting for passwords means you may as well use paper version.

    Such a shame that when this updates you need to put your details in again.
