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 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 iPhone or iPad supports Touch ID or Face ID, you can use it to log in, every time you use the app.

So, this is on the face of it an excellent potential app, however, as I discovered the hard way, if you switch doctors the app will lose all your previous records and only show on going records from your new GP surgery. So that's a waste of time then! It's saving grace is that it does make it easy to order and track repeat prescriptions.

App OK. Could really use the function to be able to add appointments to your personal calendar in the same way that the 'patient access' app allows. ---- Updated: thank you for your response. I HAVE suggested how to improve the app in my review. I have also emailed it to you... Update 2 -good to see calendar integration being considered. May help reduce missed appointments.

Very nice concept. The major flaw, however, is how ridiculously slow it is: in getting verified, or in getting any response at all - including on your prescription. The process and experience is so horribly slow that it ultimately defeats the entire point of this app and it's health benefits. Not happy or satisfied with the service on it at all.
