How to set up NHS Login

You will need:

• an email address (with more than 6 characters)
• a mobile phone number

What you need to do

A 6-digit security code will be sent to your email. You will be asked to enter this code to verify your email address and continue.

Next, you will be asked to give your mobile number. Another 6-digit security code will be sent by text message to your mobile phone. A security code will be sent every time you log in, unless you select ‘remember this device and stop sending security codes’.

NB: Currently, you cannot set up NHS login without a mobile phone. NHS are working on this and hoping to offer a solution to users who do not own a mobile phone in the future.
