Accessing NHS services in England has never been easier thanks to the NHS App, which provides a simple and secure platform to manage your healthcare needs right from your smartphone or tablet. Eligible users are those aged 13 and above, who must be registered with an NHS GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man. The convenience extends to computer users as well, with the ability to log in through the NHS website to utilize the same NHS App services.
Access NHS Services
With the NHS App, you can effortlessly access a variety of NHS services at any time and from any location. Key features include requesting repeat prescriptions, using the 111 online service, and locating nearby NHS facilities. Depending on your GP surgery's capabilities, you may also book appointments and reach out to discuss health issues directly through the app.
Manage Your Health
The NHS App offers a convenient way to monitor your health by giving you access to your GP health record, including test results. It allows you to manage your upcoming appointments and handle prescription requests efficiently. Additionally, the app empowers you to make significant health decisions, such as registering your organ donation preference.
Receive Messages
Stay informed with important updates from your GP surgery and other NHS services directly through the app. Enabling notifications ensures you are promptly alerted to any new messages, keeping you in the loop with your healthcare providers.
Manage Services for Other People
The NHS App facilitates managing healthcare for others by allowing you to switch profiles to access services for family members or children. This feature requires that both you and the individual you are assisting are registered with the same GP surgery, and that the surgery has granted you access.
Log in Securely
The NHS App ensures a secure login process, guiding you to set up an NHS login if you don't already have one. You'll need to verify your identity, after which the app will securely connect to your NHS service information. For added convenience, if your Android device supports it, you can use fingerprint, face, or iris recognition to log in each time you use the app.
