What is NHS login?
NHS login makes accessing different health and care websites and apps much easier as you only need one account. Once you've created an NHS login account, all you need is your provided email address and password to access many digital health and care systems.
Proving who you are
To keep your data secure, when accessing NHS login via myCohens you will need to provide some proof of identity. This can be done by uploading a copy of your driving license or your passport and takes no longer than a few minutes.
How we link to your GP
Without NHS login, you'd need to visit your GP surgery in person and retrieve a linkage key (or passphrase). NHS login simplifies the process and automatically retrieves your credentials which we then use to link your account with your GP surgery.
