NHS App

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.

Online access to medical records

Patients signing up to view their records online can access booking options, order repeat prescriptions, laboratory test results (i.e. bloods and urine), immunisation history, problems and consultations.

Keeping your data secure

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.
