Activate your MyCare UCLH account with a code

If we have sent you a personal activation code on your After Visit Summary, by letter, email, or text, you can quickly activate your MyCare account on the MyCare UCLH - signup page.

The code is only valid for 14 days.

When you activate your account with the personal code, you only need to add your date of birth and postal code to identify it is you. 

Request a MyCare UCLH account before your visit

If you do not have a personal activation code, or if you want to request a MyCare UCLH account before your visit, you can request this online with your NHS number.

You will need to provide more detailed information together with your NHS number to request to sign up here.

You will have to type your details, including your address, email, etc. exactly as it is recorded with your NHS number in order to identify it is you. 

Accessing MyCare UCLH

You can also access it through an app on your mobile. The mobile version of MyCare UCLH runs on the MyChart app provided by Epic. You can download the MyChart app free of charge from the app store at the links below.

Once you’ve downloaded MyChart and accepted the terms and conditions, select “University College London Hospitals – MyCare UCLH” under available organisations.

How do I register for MyCare UCLH? 

When registering, you will need your activation code, date of birth, and email address.

You receive your activation code from the ‘After visit summary’ letter or in an email sent by the clinical team.

Or alternatively, when you next come in for an appointment, one of the UCLH clinical staff can activate your MyCare UCLH account.

Is it free to use?

Yes. It is free to use and can be accessed from a mobile device, tablet or computer.

You can download the App from the App store (Apple devices) and Google Play (Android devices).

Can I sign up online without attending the hospital?

Yes. You can use your NHS number to request to sign up here. 

If you are a carer or a parent, you will be able to gain ‘proxy access’ to the medical records of others (with their permission). Please see the section on proxy access for more details.

Can someone else sign up for MyCare UCLH on my behalf?

No. Given that the information available on the portal is your sensitive medical records, we need to make sure that access is only given to the correct person. So in order to activate your portal account, we need to see you in person to verify we are giving access to the right person

What equipment or software do I need in order to use MyCare UCLH?
