The NHS App is a simple and secure way to access NHS services on your smartphone or tablet. You can use it to order repeat prescriptions, book and manage GP appointments, view your health record, and get important messages from your GP practice – all in one place.
Using the NHS App helps you save time and stay in control of your health, without needing to phone the surgery or visit in person. For some hospital Trusts, you can even access your letters and results from the hospital. It’s free to download and available 24/7, making it an easy and convenient way to manage your care. The NHS App is available on Apple iOS devices as well as Google Android devices.
NHS App Online
If you would like to get online to use the NHS App services but do not have an Apple iOS or Google Android device, you can also access the NHS App Online service via a laptop or desktop computer. You can access and use all the services from the NHS App but via the NHS website instead.
Digital Inclusion Support
If you would like support with setting up the NHS App on your digital device, our NHS App ambassadors hold regular digital inclusion drop-in session to support patients with installing the app to their devices and also getting access via the NHS Login.
Our efforts to promote the utilisation align with the practice’s efforts to support to increase digital literacy and inclusion amongst our patient population.
Digital Devices and Internet Access
If you are a patient, or know of a patient, that would like to use the NHS App but do not have a digital device or access to the internet, please speak to one of our NHS App ambassadors. Through our partnership with the Good Things Foundation, we may be able to supply devices and internet access SIM cards (subject to availability).
Additional Digital Literacy Support
The Good Things Foundation also offers access to their Learn My Way platform. It is a completely free platform that you can use to help people to learn basic digital skills. It covers everything from using a touch screen, using email, to managing your health online.
