Did you know there’s an easy way to look after your health right from your phone or tablet? It’s called the NHS App – and it’s free to download and use.
The NHS App gives you a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services.
It helps you manage your healthcare safely and quickly, wherever you are.
You can:
- order repeat prescriptions and nominate a pharmacy where you would like to collect them
- book and manage appointments
- view your GP health record
- book and manage COVID-19 vaccinations
- register your organ donation decision
- choose how the NHS uses your data
- view your NHS number (find out what your NHS number is)
- use NHS 111 online to answer questions and get instant advice or medical help near you
Other services:
Depending on your GP surgery or hospital, you may be able to use the NHS App to:
- message your GP surgery or a health professional online
- contact your GP surgery using an online form and get a reply
- access health services on behalf of someone you care for
- view and manage your hospital and other healthcare appointments
- view useful links your doctor or health professional has shared with you
- view and manage care plans
The app is safe, private, and easy to use. You can sign in securely using your NHS login, and only you can see your information.
Using the NHS App can also help your local GP practice and NHS staff by saving time on phone calls and paperwork. This means doctors, nurses, and reception teams can spend more time helping people who need care most.
How to get started
Download the NHS App on your smartphone or tablet via the Google play or App store.
You can also access the same services in a web browser by logging in through the NHS website.
Once it’s installed, follow the simple steps to set it up. You’ll need some details to prove who you are – like your date of birth and postcode – but it only takes a few minutes.
You must be aged 13 or over to use the NHS App. You also need to be registered with a GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man.
