Accessing NHS services in England has never been easier thanks to the NHS App, providing a user-friendly and secure gateway to a variety of health services directly from your smartphone or tablet. This app is available for individuals aged 13 and above, provided they are registered with an NHS GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man. Additionally, you can access these services through the NHS website on your computer.
Access NHS Services
With the NHS App, you can seamlessly access your NHS services at any time and from anywhere. Key features include requesting repeat prescriptions, utilizing the 111 online service, and locating nearby NHS facilities. Depending on your GP surgery's capabilities, you might also have the convenience of booking appointments and reaching out to your surgery regarding health concerns.
Manage Your Health
The NHS App offers a convenient platform to monitor your GP health record, including your test results. It empowers you to manage upcoming appointments and prescription requests, and make crucial health decisions such as your organ donation choice.
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 a critical update.
Manage Services for Other People
The NHS App allows you to switch profiles to 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 app's guidance. You will need to verify your identity, after which the app securely connects to your NHS service information. If your Android device supports biometric authentication methods like fingerprint, face, or iris recognition, you can use these to log in securely each time you access the app.
