Digital Staff Passport
The NHS Digital Staff Passport was a service that helped employees move quickly and easily between NHS trusts by sharing information including employment checks, core skills and occupational health, reducing form filling and repeated training.
Retired service
NHS Digital Staff Passport was retired on 5 December 2025 and is no longer in use.
About this service
The NHS Digital Staff Passport aimed to make onboarding easier, faster and less repetitive. When NHS employees moved between trusts, they could securely transfer information the new trust needed, including:
- pre-employment check information, such as identity, right to work, DBS checks, professional registration and employment history
- core skills training
- occupational health
This meant less form filling, employment checks and repeated training.
