Online Services

You can use the NHS App to check your symptoms and get instant advice, book appointments, order repeat prescriptions, view your GP medical record and more.

Get Started

NHS App messaging is a new service which allows you to receive an in-app message where you would normally receive a message via a more traditional channel, like SMS.

It is your choice whether to receive messages in this way. In order to have this choice, please switch on NHS App notifications on your device, so that you are prompted to read the message in the app. This can be done in the NHS App or in the device settings. Notification preferences may take 24 hours to take effect.

If a message is not successfully delivered to the NHS App, you will still receive the message via another channel, such as SMS.

We have added a link to the NHS England You and Your General Practice page to help you better understand how general practice works and how we can work together to make your care as effective and supportive as possible.

This guide explains:
* What you can expect from us as your GP practice.
* What we ask from you to help us deliver fair and efficient care.
* How you can share feedback or raise concerns.

It’s all about clear communication, mutual respect, and making sure everyone gets the best from their GP services. We encourage all our patients to take a few minutes to read it – it’s a helpful resource for understanding your rights, responsibilities, and how we can support your health and wellbeing.
