NHS APP Posted or Updated on 29 Sep 2023

All GP practices in England and the Isle of Man are connected to the NHS App. This means that anyone aged 13 or over and registered with a GP practice in England or the Isle of Man can use it.

You can download the NHS App on an iOS or Android device. You can also access the same services by logging in through the NHS website in a web browser.

The NHS App enables you to:

• get health advice using the health A-Z on the NHS website
• find out what to do when they need help urgently using NHS 111 online
• choose your organ donation preferences
• choose whether the NHS uses your data for research and planning
• show others the details of your COVID-19 vaccine (or vaccines) when travelling abroad
• find NHS services nearby

Additionally, if you register and prove who you are, you can:

• order repeat prescriptions and view, set or change change the pharmacy you want to collect your prescriptions from (known as your nominated pharmacy)
• view your GP health record securely
• manage your first hospital or clinic appointment with a specialist, if you are referred by your GP through the NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS)
• sign up for updates about participating in health research

In participating trusts, you can access a single view of all your hospital appointments and manage those appointments where appropriate.
