The NHS App gives you a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services. 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.
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. Find out more about who can use the NHS App.

- view your GP health record to see information like your allergies and medicines (if your GP has given you access to your detailed medical record, you can also see information like test results)
- 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
- search trusted NHS information and advice on hundreds of conditions and treatments
- find NHS services near you
There are lots of benefits to having the NHS App and we encourage all of our patients to use online services if possible.
If you want to use online services, but are struggling to get set-up, please come in and speak to one of our care navigators who will be happy to help. Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) can also support patients by providing peer-led “How-to” training sessions.
