If you are told to make contact with your “local Registration Authority” this is a good place to start! However, note that sometimes your “local Registration Authority” is someone or a department within your pharmacy group who has responsibility for Smartcards.
Changes to how you contact the Registration Authority (RA) Team (Smartcard Team) |
We are pleased to announce that as part of SCW IT Services Continuous Service Improvements, we have changed the contact number for the RA Team – the team that administer Smart Cards.
These changes will ensure that all calls/emails for the RA Team will be directly routed through to the Team, ensuring a faster and more efficient service.
The new telephone number will be 0300 5610429
The email address will stay the same: scwcsu.smartcards@nhs.net
These changes will take effect immediately.
Anyone who uses the old contact points will be still be re-directed to the RA Team; however, they may not benefit from the above service improvements.
Please contact the RA Team if you have any questions regarding this change.
