A point of friction in using Isla is an additional password to have to remember. Isla has been collaborating with NHS Digital to support NHSmail log in. Users will have an option to "Log in with NHSmail" on the Isla log in screen which will redirect them to the NHSMail log in screen:
The clinician's workflow functions as follows;
The Clinician clicks "log in with NHSmail" button on the Isla portal login or register screen
The Clinician is redirected to the NHSmail login screen
The Clinician logs in with their NHSmail credentials
The Clinician is automatically redirected back to the Isla portal
If the user does not have an Isla account, one is automatically created and they are logged in with that email
If the user already has an Isla account, they are logged in to their existing account
Note that this only works with email accounts provided by NHSmail, for further detail please see https://digital.nhs.uk/services/nhsmail
