NHS - NHS APP

The NHS App is the new, simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet.

What does the NHS App do? 

• Check your symptoms - find out what to do when you need help urgently
• Book and manage appointments at your GP surgery
• Order repeat prescriptions
• View your GP medical record securely
• Register to be an organ donor
• Choose how the NHS uses your data.

95% of GP surgeries in England are now connected to the app. You can check if your GP surgery is connected when you open the app for the first time. If it's not, you can register your email address, and we'll notify you when they go live.

If your GP surgery is not connected, you can still download the app and use it to check your symptoms and find out what to do when you need help urgently. To keep your data secure when your surgery is connected and you register on the app, we'll carry out checks to confirm your identity. The app will then securely connect to information from your GP surgery. To keep your access secure, we'll send a security code to your phone each time you use the app.

To get help with the app if you have any issues using or downloading the app, check the NHS App help and support page.
