Guidance on NHSNoReply

The NHS is the world’s largest publicly funded health service, sending millions of patient emails and messages a day. There are currently several different versions of the NHSNoReply SMS sender IDs in use (such as nhsnoreply, NHS NOREPLY and NHS-NoReply), which can make it difficult for patients to identify genuine messages from NHS providers. This also poses additional threats to cyber security, such as smishing, spoofing and potential fraud, which can compromise public confidence in the NHS brand.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is updating best practice guidance around patient communication, with an aim to reduce the number of SMS Sender IDs used across the NHS, ensure that the SMS sender ID reflects the service that the patient is consuming and reduce the risk of blocked and bounce-back messages. On behalf of NCSC, we are requesting that all NHS providers enforce the use of the chosen combination, ‘NHSNoReply’ ONLY and that all other variations are blocked from 5 November. 

For more information, please visit the NCSC website, or contact the Telecoms team to request a workshop if required.
