Basic IT Access


Prior to your commencement and through the appointment process in NHS Tayside the e-Health team and the Systems Access Management Team work closely with our colleagues in Medical Staffing (HR) to ensure you have basic IT access. All new employees require an LDAP and Active Directory Account to gain access to the PC's and subsequent access to relevant systems. When you commence gain your password by calling the IT Service Desk on 01382 424444.

The initial access which will be set up for you is detailed below for your information.

1) LDAP Account

An LDAP account is for directory entry and to enable access to further systems (dependant on application) The LDAP Account is more commonly referred to as your Staffnet username and password. You can use this to access a number of IT Applications, dependant on your role within the organistation.

Having this account also means that you are able to register for an NHS email account if you don't already have one.

2) Active Directory Account for PC access

An Active Directory Account is required by all staff to be able to login to a PC within NHS Tayside.

3) Clinical Portal Access (for clinical staff only)

The Clinical Portal is the entry to NHS Tayside's electronic record and displays information from key clinical systems.
