You will be able to see all your referrals and hospital appointments in one place via the NHS App, and have a single point of contact for each appointment.

If you already use our patient portal, you can continue to use this, and you can also use the NHS App. 

You can download the NHS App on your phone or tablet. You can also access the same services in a web browser by logging in through the NHS website.

You must be aged 13 or over to use the NHS App.

You also need to be registered with a GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man. Find out more about who can use the NHS App.

Visit the NHS App webpage on the national NHS website, for more information on using the NHS App -  including how to download the NHS App.
