NHS App

The NHS App is a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services and information on your smartphone or tablet. Millions of people are already using the NHS App to manage their health the easy way from the comfort of their homes. 

If you are over the age of 16, the NHS App enables you to view your GP health record to help you better understand and manage your condition, without having to phone your GP surgery. With the app, you can access your consultation notes, letters and test results. 

The NHS App also enables you to order repeat prescriptions and easily change your nominated pharmacy, so you can send orders when and where it is best for you. Each prescription ordered electronically saves GP practices three minutes of time and a patient 18 minutes, making it more convenient for people and freeing up frontline staff to do other important duties. 

The app makes it easy to access your appointment information and manage your hospital appointments. You can also find out your NHS number and access NHS 111 online to get instant advice or medical help near you. 

If you or your loved ones are not sure how to download the app, or how to get started, there are lots of libraries across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent that are now offering support. Libraries currently offering support on how to use the NHS App are listed below.
