Registering to receive alerts
The Central Alerting System is designed to operate as a
cascade system. We issue alerts to organisations; those organisations then
share alerts within their organisation as they deem necessary to complete any
actions the alert calls for. We strongly encourage registration via generic
email addresses wherever possible so that multiple individuals at an
organisation can receive alert emails that we issue.
Please note that alerts for NHS Primary Care Contractors (Community
Pharmacies, Dental and Optometry) are currently sent to such providers by NHS
England and NHS Improvement Regional Offices.
In the current coronavirus (COVID-19) situation we are
receiving enquiries from individuals who are working on the national response that
wish to receive alerts about coronavirus (COVID-19). We are also receiving
enquiries from organisations that wish to register additional individuals for
business continuity purposes. We are now ready to accept registrations from
anyone working in the health and social care sector, regardless of whether we
already have any registrations from their organisation. This is a
temporary measure while we respond to this situation. We will notify anyone who
registers via the two links below when we intend to stop sending alerts via
these routes.
If you are registering an email address from your GP Practice for the first time, if you are replacing someone currently registered to receive alerts from us at your organisation, if you are amending current registration details with us or have any questions then please contact us at safetyalerts@mhra.gov.uk rather than following either link below.
