The NHS App gives you a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services. You can download the NHS App on your smartphone or tablet via the Google play or App store. You can also access the same services by logging in at NHS Online if you do not wish to or cannot download the NHS App. You must be aged 13 or over to access the NHS App or NHS Online.
