Welcome to Multicast Notification Service (MNS).
Use MNS to publish or subscribe to lightweight healthcare related events.
MNS allows NHS England product teams to publish patient related events using ‘publish-subscribe’ messages.
Subscribers receive notification of the events that match their subscription criteria via their chosen delivery method (via MESH or AWS SQS).
Examples of events include:
- a patient’s birth
- a patient’s death
- a newborn child’s vaccinations
- a change to a patient’s NHS number
In this category you can get support with your MNS queries by posting a question.
You can also find more detailed documentation in our API specification.
