- From there, you can join your team.
2. Joining a Team (Mobile App)

- Select All Your Teams, then search for the name of your hospital or trust.
- You can join more teams from the same screen using search.
3. Selecting a Team or Entering the Trust Space

- Sand timer icon: shown if your access request is pending.
- Click Submit to request access and enter your space.
Important Notes for Personal Email Addresses
-
If you created your account with a personal email address, admins might reject your request by default as they may not recognize your name or organization.

Add your work email address to your Eolas account via 'Me > Edit Profile'. Use the text box to provide additional information, such as your professional email or details about your affiliation, to help admins evaluate your request.
