Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is an NHS number?

An NHS number is a unique 10-digit identifier assigned to everyone registered with the UK National Health Service. It's used for healthcare records and services across England, Wales, and the Isle of Man.

What format should NHS numbers have?

Valid NHS numbers are 10 digits long. They are often displayed with spaces (e.g., 485 777 3456) but the tool accepts both spaced and unspaced formats. The last digit is a checksum calculated from the first 9 digits.

How does the validation work?

The tool checks: 1) The number has exactly 10 digits, 2) All characters are numeric, 3) The checksum digit matches the calculated value using the official NHS algorithm (multiplying each digit by 11-position and checking modulo 11).

Is this tool storing or sharing the NHS numbers I enter?

No. All validation happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server or stored anywhere. The tool works entirely client-side for complete privacy.

What does the validation result show?

The result shows whether the NHS number is valid or invalid. For valid numbers, it displays the formatted number. For invalid numbers, it provides specific error details like incorrect length, non-numeric characters, or checksum mismatch.
