Get the Most from Your Healthcare with the NHS App

Did you know you can manage your health quickly and easily using the NHS App?

The free NHS App gives you secure access to a range of NHS services — all from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. With the app, you can:

  • Book GP appointments
  • Order repeat prescriptions
  • View your medical records securely
  • Access your COVID-19 vaccination status
  • Check your symptoms and find trusted NHS information
  • Send messages to and receive messages from your GP surgery

It’s simple to use and available to anyone aged 13 and over who is registered with a GP surgery in England.

Download today:
Search for “NHS App” on the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Android), or visit www.nhs.uk/nhsapp to get started.

Did you know that GP practices now include a whole team of skilled healthcare professionals ready to support you?

These include clinical pharmacists, physiotherapists, Advanced Nurse Practitioners and many more. They are experts in their areas and can help with lots of health concerns — often without needing to see a GP first.

Why see another clinician?

  • They have special training to assess and treat many conditions.
  • They work closely with your GP to make sure you get the right care.
  • Seeing them can get you help sooner and avoid unnecessary delays.

For example, if you have muscle pain, a first contact physiotherapist can help with treatment and advice. If you need help managing your medicines, a clinical pharmacist is the right person to see.

Your health and wellbeing are our priority.
By working as a team, we aim to provide the best care as quickly and safely as possible.

Thank you for trusting us with your care!
