Contact
Contact is a secure national email and directory service, provided free to NHS staff and developed with Cable & Wireless.
It provides a national directory of people in the NHS, including name, email addresses, telephone numbers, name and address of their NHS organisation, and information about departments, job roles and specialities.
Users have an email address that stays with them as they move around the NHS, and the service features calendars and folders that can be shared with other users, plus automatic encryption of emails.
What progress so far?
At the end of December 2005 the email service had a total of 70,000 active users. The directory service containing all nhs.net and nhs.uk email addresses is used by all parts of the NHS.
By the end of 2006 Contact expects to have 120,000 active users and, by 31 March 2006, plans to provide an email archive facility.
