NHS App features

The NHS App is available to anyone 13 years and over and registered with an NHS GP practice in England or Isle of Man​.

It’s a safe and simple way for people to access a range of NHS services on smartphone, tablet or computer​.

The NHS App enables people in England to access digital health and care services. This helps them stay well, get well, and manage their health. 

The NHS App features that users can access will vary depending on location, GP system, and whether they have verified their identity. People can use the NHS App to: 

• view prescription information, order repeat prescriptions, and view, set, or change the pharmacy they want to collect prescriptions from (their nominated pharmacy).

• view test results. 
• view their GP health record
• access NHS 111 online
• manage hospital and secondary care referrals and appointments
