The NHS App

Messages from the Practice through the NHS App

We are changing the way some of our messages are sent to you.
 
Some messages from the Practice may now appear in your NHS App instead of arriving immediately by text message.
You may already have received Practice messages in this way, as we have been using the NHS App to send some of our general patient messages for some time.
 
If you do not open the message in the NHS App, it will also be sent to you by text message, so you will not miss important information.
 
To make sure you see our messages, please:
  • Download the NHS App if you do not already have it.
  • Make sure notifications for the NHS App are switched on.
  • Look out for NHS App notifications from the Practice.
You do not need to contact the Practice about this change. Please continue to contact us in the usual way if you need to speak to us.

The Surgery would like to invite you to use the NHS App

The new, simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet.

Download on App Store |Download on Google Play Store

When your surgery is connected, and you register in the app, we'll carry out checks to confirm your identity. The app will then securely connect to information from your GP surgery. To keep your access secure, we'll send a security code to your phone each time you use the app.

Use the NHS App to order prescriptions, manage appointments, view your medical record and access test results.

What does the NHS App do?

 

 

Use the NHS App to:

  • check your symptoms
  • find out what to do when you need help urgently
  • book and manage appointments at your GP surgery
  • order repeat prescriptions
  • view your GP medical record securely
  • register to be an organ donor
  • choose how the NHS uses your data

Connecting GP surgeries to the NHS App

 

 

Patients at 95% of GP surgeries in England can now use all the features of the NHS App.

You can check if your GP surgery is connected when you open the app for the first time. If it's not, you can register your email address, and we'll notify you when they go live.

If your GP surgery is not connected, you can still download the app and use it to check your symptoms and find out what to do when you need help urgently.
