A faster, secure way to access NHS systems and applications.
If Windows Hello is enabled on your ICB account, you can use this as an authenticator for NHS Care ID.
- No need to insert your smartcard or other authenticator you may have
- Access compatible applications without a VPN
- Got a smartcard? You can still use this if you prefer and when signing in from a different device
The ICB is rolling out Windows Hello to Care ID users, if you've not yet been contacted; you can submit a request for this by confirming you're ready.
Already have an Authenticator? (Smartcard etc)
You can self-register Windows Hello against your Care ID account.
Don't yet have an Authenticator?
See our general Authenticators article to request this, or a Care ID profile if you don't yet have one.
Read more about how Windows Hello works with the NHS on NHS Digital's website.
