How you log in and access patient information can differ by organisation. In general you will:
- place your smartcard in the reader attached to the PC or laptop that has access to the Spine portal
- enter the passcode you chose or were given when you first got your smartcard
- access the services you need
It's important that a colleague takes you through the steps you need to follow to get started with your smartcard because guidance will not apply to every unique system.
Make sure you:
- never share your passcode with anyone else
- never allow anyone else to use your smartcard
- never leave your smartcard unattended
- always remove your smartcard from the reader when you've finished using it
By using a smartcard you are accepting these terms and conditions.
