NHS APP

NHS APP OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Due to new national limits on the number of text messages GP practices can send, we will be reducing our use of SMS messaging.

Where possible, we will contact patients through the NHS App, so we encourage all patients to download the app and enable notifications.

With the NHS App you can:

  • Order repeat prescriptions

  • View test results

  • Check and manage appointments

  • View parts of your medical record

  • Receive messages from the practice

The NHS App is free, secure and easy to use and available via the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Downloading the NHS App will help ensure you continue to receive messages and updates from the practice.

In the NHS App, you can see messages from your health care providers to make sure you get a notification when you have received a new message in your inbox.

Your notification settings need to be turned on in your phone.

To do this, go to your account and select Settings.

Then select Manage Notifications.

Select go to Device Settings.

Select Allow notifications.

Once you’ve enabled notifications on your device, you need to reopen the NHS App.

Doing this confirms that you have registered to receive notifications.
