NHS Digital is the UK national information and technology partner to the health and social care system using digital technology to transform the NHS and social care. In the last years, NHS Digital introduced a self-service toolkit – NHS login, to help third-party developers adopt the public health service’s single-login functionality.
The organisation has set the bar that any website or app that allows patients to use digital health services must meet NHS Digital’s standard on Identity and Access Management (IAM), alongside NHS Information governance, clinical Safety, Information Security Management (ISM), Service & incident management, usability & accessibility and resilience and other requirements.
Parsek services in Lancashire and South Cumbria enabling NHS login for patients in cancer follow-up programmes
We’re proud to announce that Parsek, in close cooperation with the Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care System (ICS), has completed the key milestones for the NHS Digital supplier conformance assessment list. This accomplishment opened the door to connect with the NHS Digital services, including the NHS login.
This way, all patients in Lancashire & South Cumbria region (UK) involved in the breast, prostate, and colorectal personalised stratified cancer follow-up programme with access to Mi-PRES application are enabled to easily login and follow their care plan, upcoming appointments, health-related documentation and other activities, considering the highest security standards.
Easy and secure access with a single user account
NHS login works in line with the British national approach to unification and management of accounts – making it easier and quicker for patients to securely access their digital health record and care services with one verified identity. Moreover, NHS login follows the UK government’s data storage standards to keep patient information safe, secure and assure its privacy.
Market-ready: NHS login applicable to other NHS digital services
Parsek has been officially listed as one of the NHS login Integrated partners and services, which will enable repeatable, trustworthy and faster integration with NHS Digital services in the IAM spectrum as well in other domains of public health digitalisation. By supporting the NHS to increase the use of NHS login across the digital health and social care market, we believe the UK health and care system can benefit from a secure login process that will support the best use of technology to enable preventative, predictive and more personalised care.
