What does the NHS App do?
The NHS App allows you to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet. A desktop version is launching soon too.
You can use it wherever you are, at any time. It puts valuable information about your health and treatments at your fingertips.
You can:
- order repeat prescriptions
- view your GP medical record
- access your Covid Vaccination Status
- book and cancel appointments at your GP Surgery
- register for organ donation and change your donation preferences
- use the symptoms checker, including an A to Z of conditions and treatment advice from the NHS website
- access 111 online, for advice on self-care and whether urgent help is needed.
Is my information safe?
Just like a banking app, your identity will be carefully checked during the simple registration process. The app has been designed, built and tested so that your personal information is always safe and secure.
How to register through the NHS App?
Download the app from your mobile device's app store and follow the easy step-by-step registration instructions. It will help if you know your NHS number (though this isn't essential), and you will need to have a form of ID (passport or driving license) to hand.
