Accessing online resources

Many of our links will automatically log you into Cambridge Core, asking you to sign in at the College website if you have not already done so, but if you arrive by a different route, click on the Access through your institution link under Access options below the article preview:

Alternatively, you can click on the Institution login link at the top right of the page:

In both cases, begin typing Royal College of Surgeons of England in the Search for an institution or keyword field at the top of the Find your institution form:

And then click Continue to login:

If you are not already signed into the College website, please do so when asked.

Once the website has finished processing the request, you will be logged in to Cambridge Core and the Institution login at the top of the page will change to read Authenticated by The Royal College of Surgeons of England Library:

Note that Cambridge Core can lose your final destination in the process, leaving you at the Cambridge homepage. If this happens, you can go back to click the original link to the article or journal, which will take you straight there.
