Care Identity Service smartcards

GP practices are asked to check their smartcards for older versions and contact their Registration Authority team for replacements.

All Series 4,5 and 6 smartcards will no longer be able to sign electronic prescriptions from 31 March 2025.

Please contact the Registration Authority (RA) to arrange replacement.  In Lincolnshire, the RA can be contacted through the HALO IT support system.
