About the NHS Login category
NHS login is a critical national platform that provides secure, authenticated access to a wide range of NHS digital services. Since its launch in 2019, it has supported millions of users to safely access health and care services online.
NHS login is part of the Digital Citizen portfolio within NHS England’s Product & Platforms directorate. It plays a central role in enabling a consistent and trusted approach to identity across the NHS.
The platform provides secure single sign-on (SSO), allowing users to access multiple health and care services with one set of login credentials. This reduces friction for users while maintaining high levels of security and assurance.
NHS login powers access to the NHS App and more than 100 live partner services (currently around 140+ organisations). These span a broad range of sectors, including:
- Core NHS services
- Maternity and child health services
- Community and pharmacy services
- Online consultation platforms
- Patient portals and digital health tools
