‘Try the NHS App

If you’re a patient at our practice you can now use the new NHS App, a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet.

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

If you already use System Online you can continue to use it. You can use the NHS App as well.

For more information go to https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/

The video found at the link below has useful information for patients on how to register with the NHS App without needing to contact the practice:

Download the NHS App, or open the NHS website in a web browser, to set up and log in to your NHS account. Owned and run by the NHS, your NHS account is a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services online.

The NHS App is available on iOS and Android.

You can also access your NHS account using the NHS website

To have an NHS account, you must be aged 13 or over and registered with a GP surgery in England.

Did you know you can manage repeat prescriptions from Orchid House Surgery in the NHS App?

You can easily choose where your prescriptions are sent. So, if you know you’ll be away from home or you are moving home, you can change your nominated pharmacy from within the app.

You can also order your prescription at any time that suits you. There’s no need to wait to join a telephone queue or wait until the GP surgery opens.

It’s easy to use, and, if you hit a snag, you can go to ‘Help’ in the top right-hand corner of the app or visit nhs.uk/helpmeapp.
