NHS DigitalAbout this app
Developer Description
Access NHS services in England
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 GP health record, 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.

great so far
This app is very useful. Saves a lot of time not having to visit the surgery in person. Can make appointments, message your GP, request repeat prescriptions and test results. And more.
it is still difficult to log in ?
until recently I would just press open and off I'd go. but recently to be able to get on I have to uninstall the app then reinstall it to be able to get on. I've given the two because it's so easy to use when it's on. when I press. it just buffers. I also use patients know best and NLAG they work fine. adding 26th December 2025. still just buffering, still having to uninstall and reinstall. Help
can't get on
