The NHS App: Your Gateway to English NHS Services
The NHS App provides a secure and user-friendly platform to access various NHS services directly from your smartphone or tablet. Available to individuals aged 13 and older, registration requires being a registered patient with an NHS GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man. Desktop access is also available via the NHS website.
Accessing NHS Services
The NHS App offers convenient 24/7 access to your NHS services. Key features include repeat prescription requests, 111 online access, and locating nearby NHS services. Depending on your GP surgery, appointment booking and direct communication regarding health concerns may also be possible.
Health Management
The app facilitates convenient access to your GP health record, including test results. Manage upcoming appointments, prescription requests, and make crucial health decisions, such as organ donation preferences.
Message Center
Receive vital updates and messages from your GP surgery and other NHS services directly through the app. Enable notifications to stay informed of new communications.
Managing Services for Others
The NHS App allows you to switch between profiles to access services for other individuals, such as children or family members, provided they share the same GP surgery and your access has been granted by the surgery.
Secure Login
The app guides you through creating an NHS login if needed, requiring identity verification. Once logged in, it securely connects to your NHS service information. For added convenience, compatible Android devices can utilize fingerprint, face, or iris recognition for streamlined logins.
