The NHS App
This is the new kid on the block. Launched in 2019. One of the main advantages is the ease of registration. Using the Government gateway you can register without needing to ask for username and password from your GP surgery. But it is only available as an app for a smart-phone or tablet. You can't access it on the internet with a web browser.
The app is heavily integrated into other NHS IT systems. It allows you to search local services, access advert free medical information from the NHS website and much more. There are further features planned for the near future including video consultations! |
The NHS.uk website has lots more information if you wish to read further. Rather than re-print it all here we encourage you to have a look yourself.
We ask you to read Pioneer's guide to What You Need To Know before you take up full access to your record. This covers the important bits to bear in mind.
