About this app

The NHS App gives you a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet.

You can use the app if you are aged 13 or over. You must be registered with an NHS GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man.

You can also log in through the NHS website on a computer to use NHS App services.

Access NHS services
----------------------
Use the NHS App to access your NHS services, anytime and anywhere. You can request repeat prescriptions, use 111 online, find nearby NHS services and more.

Depending on your GP surgery, you may also be able to book appointments and contact your surgery about a health problem.

Manage your health
--------------------
The NHS App gives you a convenient way to view your health information, including your test results.

You can manage your upcoming appointments and prescription requests. You can also make choices about your health, like your organ donation decision.

Receive messages
-------------------
You can get important messages from your GP surgery and other NHS services through the app. Turning on notifications can alert you to new messages.

Manage services for other people
---------------------------------
You can switch profiles to access services for other people in the NHS App, such as a child or family member. Your GP surgery needs to give you access and you must both share the same surgery.

Log in securely
---------------
The NHS App will guide you through setting up an NHS login if you do not have one already. You will be asked to prove who you are. The app will then securely connect to information from your NHS services.

If your Android device supports fingerprint, face or iris recognition, you can use it to log in, every time you use the app.

Ratings and reviews

What utter rubbish! The only way i can get into my app is to uninstall it and install it over and over again! it does not connect and does this frequently leaving me with a whiring circle of doom! each time, i pray my details will still be there! This app is vital, but it's not fit for purpose and extrenely unreliable! Please, for everyone's sake, fix the instability issue, i refuse to believe it's just me!

this nhs app used to be good at one time, but but of late it's gone from being good to useless, at first I just needed to login which was fine. but now I had to sign in twice (in two stages) but now when I've signed in again on the second stage it just says that it's not been able to log me in. I have followed instructions to send the failure codes just to be told they would look into it, now I can't even see any message that I may have. a big disappointment from the nhs

Yet another bug! Reviewers only give the new update one star and the app won't let me log in until I update it! This means that I'm being forced to update the app from a working version, to one that is stopping people from logging in!! Please, please, please, stop using fifth form pupils on their summer holidays to write the code for this app! Unfortunately I can only give one star, as I can't give it a minus rating! Doh!
