NHS App
Manage your health, at your convenience, all within one app
WHAT IS THE NHS APP?
The NHS App allows patients above the age of 13, who are registered with the practice, to manage their health at their convenience, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The NHS App can be accessed both via the downloaded smartphone/tablet app or via the NHS website. The app has been designed to give patients more freedom, convenience and involvement in the care you receive from the NHS.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR PATIENTS?
The use of the app will provide multiple benefits to patients. The main features of the app are below, however the app will allow those who want to be more involved in their care, to see the information on their medical records, including; Consultation Notes, Immunisations, Medical Conditions and Test Results.
For those patients who’s busy day often creates a problem for them being able to get in contact with the practice via telephone, the app now allows a selection of appointments to be booked in just a few clicks and provides a quick easy way to contact the practice should you need to request non-urgent medical or admin requests.
