NHS Login - userinfo endpoint

NHS login

Hi NHS Login team,

I’m from the NHS Health Check Online service team, and we wanted to confirm with you, if the sub UUID returned from the userinfo endpoint is unique to the patient on the NHS Login level and cannot be changed.

This is related to the topic we’ve asked about recently: NHS Login handling of superseded NHS numbers .

Thank you,

Małgorzata

Afternoon Malgorzata,

There is no guarantee that a person always has the same UUID. For example if they delete and recreate their account they would have a different UUID.

Hello Stephen, thank you for the quick reply!

That makes sense, thank you for the clarification.

Kind regards,
