NHS App: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use the NHS App to manage your medical records, book GP appointments, and order repeat prescriptions online.
The NHS App is a digital tool that allows you to manage your personal healthcare information directly from your smartphone or tablet.
Who it's for
This service is available to patients who are registered with an NHS doctor or dental practice.
What you get
The app gives you digital access to your medical records. You can use it to book or manage appointments with your GP, view your health history, and order repeat prescriptions.
What it costs you
The app is free to use. To set it up, you will need to go through an identity verification process using a valid photo ID.
The catch to know
Most of the features only work if you are currently registered with a GP surgery, so you must be an active patient to make the app useful.
How to apply
- Download the app onto your mobile device.
- Complete the identity verification using your photo ID.
- Follow the prompts to link your medical records to the app.
