The NHS App offers a convenient and secure platform for accessing a wide range of NHS services directly from your smartphone or tablet. Whether you're at home or on the go, the app makes it easy to manage your healthcare needs efficiently.
Access NHS Services
With the NHS App, you can access essential NHS services anytime, anywhere. If you are 13 years or older and registered with an NHS GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man, you're all set to use the app. You can also access these services through the NHS website on a computer. Key features include requesting repeat prescriptions, using 111 online, and finding nearby NHS services. Depending on your GP surgery, you might also book appointments and contact your surgery directly about health concerns.
Manage Your Health
The NHS App simplifies the management of your health by allowing you to view your GP health record, including your test results. It also enables you to manage upcoming appointments and prescription requests. Additionally, you can make important health decisions, such as registering your organ donation choice, all within the app.
Receive Messages
Stay informed with important messages from your GP surgery and other NHS services directly through the app. Enabling notifications ensures you never miss critical updates or new messages.
Manage Services for Other People
The NHS App allows you to switch profiles to manage services for others, such as a child or family member. To do this, your GP surgery must grant you access, and you must be registered at the same surgery as the person whose services you wish to manage.
Log in Securely
Setting up your NHS login is straightforward with the NHS App, guiding you through the process if you don't already have one. You'll need to verify your identity, after which the app securely connects to your NHS services. For enhanced security, if your Android device supports it, you can log in using fingerprint, face, or iris recognition each time you access the app.
