Streamlined, Secure Access with NHS-Ready Single Sign-On
What SSO Means for Users
Single Sign-On allows healthcare professionals to sign in once with their own clinical system (or, if applicable, using a national identity in CIS2) and then move seamlessly across Shared Care and connected applications without re-entering credentials. Clinicians can launch the Graphnet shared care record directly from their core system, ensuring the information appears exactly when needed so they can continue their task without losing time.
Security & Compliance
Authentication flows through trusted identity providers, which keep credentials secure in the appropriate identity provider system. Sessions are encrypted in transit with signed tokens, ensuring they cannot be manipulated, and access reflects local role policies.
The platform supports UK GDPR and DSPT requirements. Azure compliance covers ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27002, and ISO/IEC 27018, with alignment to recognised healthcare frameworks. Controls are monitored to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Technical Integration
The Graphnet integration framework enables suppliers and local IT teams to embed the shared care record with minimal effort. Developers can call the record from a host application while preserving patient context and enforcing permissions. Existing integrations include EMIS Web, Vision, Adastra, and multiple acute clinical and PAS solutions. APIs and SDKs support standard protocols, which helps teams connect without reworking their identity stack.
