Registration

Registration for Cancer Waiting Times is a 2-step process. You need to be registered on the National Data Integrations Tenant (NDIT) platform for the Cancer Waiting Times collection (see Getting set up and accessing the system).

You also need to register for a Care Identity Services (CIS2) account. We use CIS2 credentials to authenticate users into the CWT system.


Getting set up and accessing the system

To register for NDIT and access the Cancer Waiting Times system you will need to complete a Data User Certificate (DUC).


Receiving confirmation

Once your information has been processed and your account created, you will receive an automated email confirming the organisation(s) you have been associated with and containing a link to the CWT system.

If you click on the link within this email, you will be taken to the CWT homepage so you can sign into the system. 


How to set up a Care Identity Services (CIS2) account

We use the Care Identity Services (CIS2) account to authenticate users. You will need to create a CIS2 account before you are able to log in to CWT. You will not need to register for a new CIS2 account if you have an existing CIS2 account for other applications.

Set up a CIS2 account.


Logging in

Access the CWT system.

You will need to use your Care Identity Services (CIS2) account to authenticate into the CWT system. If you do not have a CIS2 account, you can request one.

If you have a CIS2 account but encounter an error screen or other problems during the login process, contact the National Service Desk via the Customer Support Portal or by emailing [email protected].


The confirm break glass view pop up box allows you to decide if you really do need to view this patient record or if you want to cancel.
