Actions for local registration authorities

To enable users to access the BS-Select (Breast Screening) and BSIS applications, Local RAs will need to set up and assign a Position Based Access Control (PBAC) position.

It is recommended the position is labelled ‘Breast Screening Application access‘. This will need to be entered locally and associated with their Organisation’s ODS code containing appropriate RBAC Attributes as follows:

• role with no Baseline Activities R8008
• Activity B1808 ‘ Breast Screening ‘ (note repurposed for dedicated use by breast screening application)

To support us with these important changes, Registration Authorities will need to:

• ensure that RA agents are aware of the need for NHS Smartcard access to BS-Select and BSIS
• process NHS Smartcards request for BS-Select and BSIS users who do not currently have one, in a timely manner, when they submit their application
• process requests for the Breast Screening application access position to be added to existing smart card holders

All users need to ensure that their smartcard user profile has been updated with an email address. This can be done by the RA or the user via the Care Identity Service Portal.

To do this:

1. Log on to NHS Spine Portal.

2. Click launch Care Identity Service (Replaces UIM, Calendra and CMS).

3. Under the quick links menu click on my profile.

4. Under the contact details section click modify contact details.

5. Enter your email address followed by update contact.
