Description
I've updated the 'Short URLs' details component in /using-nhs-notify/links-and-urls.
Context
It's emerged that GOV Notify's guidance on link shortening has now changed and they advise that GDS provide short URLs only for GOV.UK webpages.
As it's unlikely our users will link to GOV.UK pages in their comms, I've removed the line about GDS. I've added a line about requesting short URLs from your IT team, in line with GOV Notify's links and URLs content. This is the only relevant advice as there doesn't seem to ben an official NHS link shortening service. This was confirmed in the general Teams chat.
