Find Your NHS Number

Find Your NHS Number

Your NHS Number is a unique 10-digit number that identifies you within the NHS. It helps healthcare professionals and NHS services identify your medical records and make sure you receive the right care.

You do not need to remember your NHS Number to access NHS services, but you may sometimes be asked for it when booking appointments, registering with a healthcare service or contacting the NHS.

How to Find Your NHS Number

You can find your NHS Number online using the official NHS website. You do not need to contact the surgery.

To find your NHS Number, you will need to provide some personal details, including:

• Your full name
• Your date of birth
• Your postcode

You may also need access to your email or mobile phone to verify your identity.
