Use NHS Notify to send:

You can send messages in bulk or individually.

Access NHS Notify

Send messages based on your needs

Send messages to groups of recipients without their contact details

You only need a person’s NHS number to send them messages. Learn how to tell us who you want to message.

Create specific cohorts of recipients by using Cohorting as a Service (opens in a new tab).

Write your messages

Create reusable templates for the message channels you want to use.

Once you’ve created a template you can:

Plan how your messages will be sent

Routing plans allow you to send messages to audiences more effectively and sometimes at lower costs.

You can set up routing plans to:

  • use certain templates for specific audiences
  • message a recipient with each channel in a specific order
  • set up fallbacks for messages that fail
  • stop sending messages after a channel is successful

Prevent sending people unnecessary messages

NHS Notify uses the Personal Demographics Service (opens in a new tab) to automatically prevent you from messaging recipients you cannot message.

Reach people with additional needs

You can use NHS Notify to:

See how your messages perform

Track how many messages you’ve sent and find out which ones are not being delivered.

Automatic sending

To send messages automatically, you’ll need a developer to integrate with the NHS Notify API.
