NHS APP

What is the NHS App?

The NHS App is owned and run by the NHS. It can be
accessed by anyone aged 13 and over registered with an
NHS GP surgery in England or Isle of Man.
Once you have verified your identity in the app, you
will have easy, 24/7 access to a growing range of health
services and information.
It doesn’t replace existing services. You can still contact your GP surgery in the usual ways.
