When you first sign up for Accurx, you'll be asked to join an organisation. This is an essential step in the setup process that enables you to unlock the full power of Accurx while ensuring all data is secure & stored in the correct place.

Why joining an organisation matters πŸ‘‡

Secure access to patient data

Joining your organisation ensures that you only have access to the patient data that you're authorised to view. This helps maintain patient confidentiality and meets NHS data protection requirements.


Enables joining a workspace

Once you've joined your organisation, you'll be able to:

  • Join specific workspaces (specialties) within your organisation

  • Customise your view based on your role and responsibilities

  • Access tools and features relevant to your specialty

Team collaboration

Being part of a workspace in your organisation allows you to:

  • Collaborate with colleagues on patient care

  • Share information securely within your team

  • Access shared templates and resources

Compliance and governance

Healthcare communications must adhere to strict governance rules. By joining your organisation:

  • Your account is properly verified and authenticated

  • Your organisation's information governance policies are applied

  • Audit trails are maintained for all communications


How to join an organisation

  1. You'll first have to sign up to Accurx using your NHS email address

  2. You'll then be able to select your organisation from the available options

    1. The organisation you select should be the organisation in which you work. This will be the name of your Trust.

    2. We suggest organisations for you to join based on information we get from your email address.

Once you've selected continue you'll be able to either type in the name of your organisation or choose your organisation from the listed suggestions πŸ‘‡


What if my organisation isn't listed?

If you can't find your organisation during the signup process you'll need to submit the join organisation form which will then be reviewed by our Support team before you're granted access πŸ‘‡
