About Us
Welcome to the HMS Website – the UK's largest health platform, with over 50 million monthly visits. Our commitment is to provide reliable and up-to-date health information to empower individuals in managing their well-being.
Our Reach: While the primary source of information is the NHS website for England (www.hms.uk), it's important to note that HMS services and information may vary across the UK. For specific information in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, please visit your local HMS websites.
Beyond the Website: We extend our services beyond the website, reaching millions through partner websites, apps, and various internet-connected devices. Over 2,000 organizations, including other HMS websites, local authorities, charities, and technology leaders, share our content.
APIs and Widgets: Connecting and syndicating our content is made simple through our range of APIs and widgets.
Social Media: Engage with us on social media through Facebook, Twitter (@HMSUK), YouTube, and Instagram. Stay updated with valuable health information and connect with our vibrant community.
How We Work
User-Centric Approach: Users are at the heart of our content creation and transformation. We adopt an agile, iterative approach, beginning with identifying user needs and continuously testing and improving based on user feedback.
Content Accuracy: To ensure the safety, accuracy, and currency of our content, we source information from peer-reviewed scientific research by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Clinical content is signed off by our NHS England clinical assurance team.
How We're Improving
Continuous Enhancements: We are dedicated to improving the HMS website continually. Recent enhancements include a new, clearer site design, optimized for mobile devices, and reworking thousands of pages of clinically validated content to better meet user needs and improve accessibility.
Our Commitment: We strive to empower individuals to engage with their health, care, and well-being. This involves publishing new content on commonly used medicines, modularizing our content for improved syndication, and leveraging data and metrics to evolve our approach.
