Requesting IP Blocks from NHS Digital
This guide explains why directly requesting IP blocks from NHS Digital benefits your organisation in the long term and provides a step-by-step process for doing so.
You may encounter a scenario where your organisation requires more than one inbound IP address to connect with NHS healthcare resources.
If this is the case, we recommend applying for IP blocks directly via NHS Digital’s IP Address Management (IPAM) service.
While some connectivity providers offer IP addresses from their own pool, this can create dependencies that make transitioning to new providers challenging. This guide explains why directly requesting IP blocks from NHS Digital benefits your organisation in the long term and provides a step-by-step process for doing so.
