The NHS App provides a seamless and secure platform for accessing a variety of NHS services directly from your smartphone or tablet. If you are 13 years old or above and registered with an NHS GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man, you can take full advantage of the app's features. Additionally, you have the option to access these services through the NHS website on your computer.
Access NHS Services
With the NHS App, you can conveniently access a range of NHS services at any time and from any location. Key features include the ability to request repeat prescriptions, utilize the 111 online service, and locate nearby NHS services. Depending on the capabilities of your GP surgery, you may also be able to book appointments and reach out to discuss health concerns directly through the app.
Manage Your Health
The NHS App empowers you to take control of your health by allowing you to access your GP health record, which includes your test results. You can manage upcoming appointments and prescription requests efficiently. Additionally, the app enables you to make significant health decisions, such as registering your organ donation choice.
Receive Messages
Stay informed with important communications from your GP surgery and other NHS services directly through the app. By enabling notifications, you will be promptly alerted to any new messages, ensuring you never miss critical health updates.
Manage Services for Other People
The NHS App allows you to switch profiles and manage services for other individuals, such as a child or family member. To do this, your GP surgery must grant you access, and you must both be registered at the same surgery.
Log in Securely
Setting up an NHS login is straightforward with the NHS 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 added convenience, if your Android device supports fingerprint, face, or iris recognition, you can use these biometric methods to log in each time you access the app.
