NHS mail

NHS mail is a secure email service, approved for the transmission of patient data. NHS mail addresses have the suffix @nhs.net. Area Team Herts & South Midlands (ATHSM) requires all practices in Milton Keynes to have an active nhs.net email account. This will be the means by which ATHSM will communicate with you. MKCCG also requires you to use this secure system to send them your cataract referrals and invoices. Information on how to acquire an nhs.net account for a Milton Keynes practice is available for download on the right.
