Accumail emails are sent securely using NHSmail.

Accumails are sent from either the Accurx global account (accurx.email4@nhs.net) or from an email address unique to your practice which is set by Accurx in conjunction with NHSmail. These unique email addresses take the format of accurx.ODScode@nhs.net e.g. if your practice has the ODS code of A12345 the recipient of your Accumails will see accurx.A12345@nhs.net as the sender. If the recipient responds, the response will come back to your practice via the Accumail inbox.

This has caused emails sent about a patient to be sent to unmonitored inboxes. When an email is sent to an unmonitored inbox, the sender will receive an auto-reply advising that the email has not been successfully sent to the practice:
