If you’re a patient at our practice and aged 13+, you can use the NHS App to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone, tablet or through the NHS website.
The NHS app is owned and run by the NHS, making it a safe and simple way to manage your healthcare.
The NHS app doesn’t replace existing services and you can still contact us in the usual ways.
However, once you have verified your identity in the app, you will have access to a growing range of health services and information including the ability to:
- order repeat prescriptions
- access NHS 111 online
- find NHS services (such as pharmacies and dentists)
- view your health records
- book appointments
- and much more…
