Accessing online resources

The original Visible Body Human Anatomy Atlas app (web and mobile) will remain available for a while, but we will no longer be issuing login codes for the older version of the app. Note that there is no guarantee that saved data such as notes and favourites will transfer successfully, so those members actively using the older app already may prefer to continue with it for now. Please be aware that the older app is not being actively maintained and its content may be out of date.

Please see our guide on the Visible Body Suite for more information.

The website

If you are not already logged into the RCS England website, please log in and then visit Visible Body. This link should log you in to the Visible Body site automatically, and you can find similar direct links on the Surgical Library website, and on the Visible Body section within the Library webpages.

If you arrive by another route, you may need to login to Ovid. Please follow the instructions for logging into Ovid journals.

If you are already within the Ovid system, using either our journals or the databases, you can select Visible Body from the navigation bar at the top of the webpage:

The mobile app

Please note that we are no longer issuing codes for the Visible Body Human Anatomy Atlas mobile app.

Getting help with online resources

 

If you're having problems, we are here to help. You can get assistance through any of the following means:
