The NHS app
The NHS app gives you access to a wide variety of services, this includes booking, amending and cancelling appointments, requesting medications, viewing your health records (from 1st Nov 2023). It also enables you to access a wide variety of information and advice.
We have an ‘NHS App Champion’ at the surgery, who will be happy to try and help you with any app related queries. Please send us an online admin query, or contact reception to arrange a chat with our in-practice champion.

See your prescriptions on the NHS app!
Patients can now view their prescriptions on the NHS App, including repeat prescriptions, and one-off prescriptions.
Patients can use the NHS App to:
- view items prescribed
- the prescription type (repeat or one-off)
- who the prescribing professional is
This gives patients earlier visibility of exactly what their healthcare provider has prescribed for them and what they will then collect or receive from pharmacies.
Patients without a nominated pharmacy will also be able to view a prescription barcode in their NHS App. This barcode can be presented to a pharmacist without having to collect a paper prescription from their GP.
Admin Requests – Ask Us An Admin Query
