Introduction

Health and care systems that send and receive emails need to ensure their email service meets the secure email Standard as detailed below in the requirements section. Example secure email services are:

  • NHSmail - On Premise Exchange

  • Locally operated Solutions based variously on Microsoft Office 365 or Exchange

Where a system needs to systematically send a large volume of emails then application accounts are available via NHSmail.

Compliance, Assurance & Testing

NHSmail publishes out standard Microsoft Exchange and Skype for Business APIs. Development against these APIs should follow the guidance contained on the Developer Network and adhere to the ‘Acceptable use’ policy. There is no formal compliance process for NHSmail API development other than that described within the Developer Network guidance and caveats. It should be noted that no test environment is provisioned for external developers wishing to use the published NHSmail APIs.
