Data Collections Framework (DCF)
The Data Collections Framework (DCF) is a secure national data collection system hosted by NHS England to submit data for some NHS England data collections.
To use the Data Collection Framework (DCF) you will need to register for a new account.
How to register
You can register for a new account using https://apps.model.nhs.uk/register
You will need to use your nhs.net or nhs.uk email address.
If you have not received an activation or password reset email we recommend you:
- check your junk email
- check you have used the correct email you used to register your account
If you can not find an activation or password reset you can contact the National Service Desk using the email account that you registered with.
Resetting or unlocking an account
You can reset your password or unlock an account by clicking the Need help signing in link on the login screen.
If the Login screen flags that your account is suspended or locked.
Raise a ticket with the National Service Desk using the email account that you registered with.
If you no longer need to enter data to this collection
Send an email to the business management team for the collection, advising them that you no longer require access. This will enable them to remove you access, and if necessary, arrange for someone else to submit data.
