New Scottish digital health and social care service launched
- Area of Work: Digital
- Type: News Item
- Published: 15th April 2026

The new platform ‘MyCare.scot’ is being led by the Scottish Government and Public Services Delivery Scotland.
MyCare.scot is a secure, online system where people in Scotland can access health and social care services and information in one place. It aims to give people more choice and control over their health and social care and make accessing services and information easier.
It was first launched and piloted in NHS Lanarkshire, for dermatology outpatients last December, and is now available for everyone in Scotland.
What can I do on MyCare.scot?
Currently, it will enable people in Scotland to:
- view their CHI (Community Health Index) number,
- view some personal details held by NHS Scotland,
- see information about medicines, allergies and vaccinations and,
- access a directory of health and care services.
In future, you will be able to do much more. MyCare.scot will be developed in stages, through feedback from users, to include additional features.
You can read the Scottish Government’s high-level rollout plan here.
ALLIANCE involvement
The Digital Citizen Panel (DCP) has shaped the development of MyCare.scot through engagement sessions and continues to feedback though a DCP working group.
ALISS (A Local Information System for Scotland) connects people to local health and wellbeing services, groups, resources and activities. In future, data will be taken from ALISS and used as part of the MyCare.scot service finder.
How can I access MyCare.scot?
You can sign up and access MyCare.scot here.
If you require assistance using MyCare, you can call the National Contact Centre free of charge on 0800 030 8014. Additionally, there are how-to-guides and videos on NHS Inform here.
