Who can use Notify
GOV.UK Notify is available to:
- central government departments
- emergency services
- local authorities
- the armed forces
- the NHS
- GP surgeries
- state-funded schools
If you work for one of these organisations but get an error when you try to create an account, contact support.
GP surgeries
NHS-funded GP surgeries can use GOV.UK Notify, but they:
- do not get an annual allowance of free text messages
- cannot send any text messages in trial mode
This is because GP surgeries will soon be able to use NHS Notify to send messages.
Suppliers
