User Guide

Initial Registration and Login
When you register for a Healthmail account, at https://www.healthmail.ie, you will receive your user name by email to your normal email account and a temporary password by SMS text to your mobile phone. Your username will be your Healthmail email address, a combination of the Pharmacy Name and Address.
The next step is to login to your account for the first time at https://access.healthmail.ie. When you login for the first time you need to create a new password and indicate your preferences in terms of language and time zones.
This guide to your first login walks you through the steps necessary. If you run into difficulties, then help is available from the Healthmail help desk at 1800 800 002 and choose option 2.
Step 1: Enter your user name and temporary password
When you go to https://access.healthmail.ie you will be asked to enter your username and password. Your username is your Healthmail address and your password is the temporary password you received via SMS text. Then click Sign In.
Step 2: Create a new password
The next step is to create a new password. It must be at least 8 characters in length and include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number and one non alpha numeric character e.g. < ! + ? & ) $ * >. Write it down on a piece of paper, so that you don’t forget it during the first login process.

Label | What to enter |
Email address | This is your Healthmail address e.g. firstname.surname@healthmail.ie |
