The NHS App

Posted on December 30th, 2021

The NHS App allows people to order their repeat medications online as well as do things like:

• • check their symptoms using the health A-Z on the NHS website
  • find out what to do when they need help urgently using NHS 111 online
  • register as an organ donor
  • choose whether the NHS uses their data for research and planning

Patients can register and prove who they are so they can:

• • order their repeat prescriptions and view, set or change their nominated pharmacy, where they want their prescriptions to be sent
  • view their GP medical record securely

To use it you must be aged 13 and over and registered with a GP surgery in England.

If you need help downloading or navigating the app there is a guide available https://digital.nhs.uk/services/nhs-app/nhs-app-guidance-for-gp-practices/tell-your-patients-about-the-nhs-app/view-and-share-your-nhs-covid-pass
