We are looking for volunteers to take part in user research sessions. We would especially like to hear from you if you already have a Digital Staff Passport, but anyone with experience of moving between NHS organisations is welcome to take part. 

The sessions involve looking at designs for the service to help us identify how it can be made as useful and user-friendly as possible. The service is still in its infancy, and this is a chance to have a practical say in how it looks, and what it does and does not do.

Each session is held via a Teams call with an NHSE researcher, either one-to-one or in a small group.

They typically take 30-45 minutes and can be arranged at a time to suit you.

If you’d like to help us, please contact england.dsp.ur@nhs.net so we can arrange a session for you with the Digital Staff Passport design team.

We want to inform you about planned works aimed at enhancing and improving our Health and Social Care Network (HSCN) services. 

From late August to mid-October 2024, we will transition the Protective Domain Name System (PDNS), Domain Name System (DNS), and Network Time Protocol (NTP) services to new suppliers in phases, with no expected impact. The transition will be seamless for all users and applications. 

No action is required from NHS organisations or HSCN consumers. However, please make colleagues aware that we recommend avoiding critical changes on the published dates.

Find more information and transition dates.
