The NHS login is a patient facing service helping patients to use multiple health and social care services (referred to as ‘connected services’) with a single login. Whilst some patients may need help registering with the service, most patients are able to complete the checks and process without involving their GP practice.
A current list of the websites and apps you can access with an NHS login can be found on the NHS login website.
NHS login is for use only by people who live in England, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, or Isle of Man. Not all connected services are available in all areas.

Accessibility
The NHS login site has been designed to be accessible and simple to understand. Patients are also able to use British Sign Language (BSL) and written numbers during the registration process for an NHS Login.
Patients can access their practice if they have difficulties signing up or registering.
Full details can be found on the NHS login accessibility statement web page.
