The NHS App
If you’re a patient at our practice, you can use the NHS App to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone, tablet or through the NHS website. The NHS app is owned and run by the NHS, making it a safe and simple way to manage your healthcare.
The NHS app doesn’t replace existing services and you can still contact us in the usual ways. But, once you have verified your identity in the app, you will have access to a growing range of health services and information including the ability to:
- Request repeat prescriptions or collection at your practice or a pharmacy you have already nominated
- Receive messages from healthcare professionals - a more secure way to communicate with patient.
- Complete online consultation forms
- Book and manage Covid-19 and Flu Vaccinations
- Check your symptoms using the health A-Z from the NHS
- Find out what to do when I need help urgently, using NHS 111 online
- Book and manage appointments at Chartfield Surgery
- Securely view your GP medical record
- Register to be an organ donor
- Choose how the NHS uses your data
- Find NHS Services
- Link account to help family members and carers access health services on behalf of other people
More information on the NHS App and help using it can be found on the NHS website.
