The NHS App provides a seamless and secure platform for accessing a variety of NHS services directly from your smartphone or tablet. Whether you're at home or on the go, this app ensures you have the tools you need to manage your health effectively.
Access NHS Services
With the NHS App, you can effortlessly access your NHS services at any time and from any location. Eligible users, aged 13 and above and registered with an NHS GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man, can utilize the app to request repeat prescriptions, use the 111 online service, locate nearby NHS facilities, and more. Depending on the capabilities of your GP surgery, you might also be able to book appointments and reach out to your surgery regarding health concerns. For those who prefer a larger screen, the NHS website offers the same functionality on a computer.
Manage Your Health
The NHS App is designed to help you take control of your health. You can easily view your GP health record, which includes your test results, manage upcoming appointments, and handle prescription requests. Additionally, the app allows you to make important health decisions, such as registering your organ donation choice, putting you in the driver's seat of your healthcare journey.
Receive Messages
Stay connected with your healthcare providers through the NHS App. You can receive crucial updates and messages from your GP surgery and other NHS services. By enabling notifications, you'll be promptly alerted to any new messages, ensuring you never miss important health information.
Manage Services for Other People
The NHS App also allows you to manage services for other people, such as a child or family member, by switching profiles within the app. To do this, your GP surgery must grant you access, and both you and the person you're managing must be registered at the same surgery.
Log in Securely
Setting up your NHS login is straightforward with the app's guidance. If you don't already have an NHS login, the app will walk you through the process, requiring you to verify your identity. Once set up, the app securely connects to your NHS service information. For enhanced security and convenience, if your Android device supports it, you can use fingerprint, face, or iris recognition to log in each time you access the app.
