NHS Mail Accounts

All pharmacies should have access to a shared NHS mail account as well as personal NHS mail accounts.

MFA roll-out timelines – Update 01/08/2024

The NHSmail team has outlined the timeline for the MFA rollout. MFA will become mandatory for NHSmail users starting this Autumn. Key dates to note:

• From August 19th, existing NHSmail users logging in will receive a notification to enable MFA. This prompt can be bypassed for 14 days.
• Accounts without MFA by 2nd September 2024 will need to meet additional security requirements, including a longer password that must be reset every three months.
• New users setting up personal accounts will be prompted to enable MFA during sign-up (from late July 2024).
