NHS App Posted or Updated on 12 Jan 2024

The app is to provide a simple and secure way for people to access a range of NHS services on their smartphone.

Some of the benefits of the App to patients are:

• 24-hour access from anywhere
• time saved rather than trying to get through on the phone
• more control over when they book appointments
• ability to cancel more easily if they need to
• repeat prescriptions can be easily ordered
• NHS login means in most cases they don't have to come in to the practice to get access
• as more patients use the app, phone lines and reception staff should have greater capacity for those unable to use it
• access to information about their medications, conditions and treatments wherever they are
