About us

Our teams design, develop and operate national IT and data services that support clinicians at work, help patients get the best care, and use data to improve treatment.

Organisation information

NHS Digital merged with Health Education England and NHS England on 1 February 2023. Read more about the merger and explore our archived organisation information.

We're transforming patient communications

Our digital-first approach means we're reaching more patients via the NHS App, text messages or email to make the NHS fit for the future.

Nearly all NHS staff rely on our services to do their jobs

Our national digital systems and platforms operate with 99.98% reliability to keep the NHS running. The NHS Spine facilitates messaging across a number of key services and platforms.

Researchers and planners use our data for discovery and insight

Our national data collections are used to improve the delivery of health care services, support life sciences research, inform policy development, and enable accountability.

Health and care providers trust our support to help keep them secure

We defend against cyberattacks nationally and support local organisations to protect themselves. Our Data Security Centre keeps patient data and information stored in safe and secure systems.
