Managing your health online

There are several ways you can manage your health and care online using websites and apps provided by the NHS and its partners.

These services can help you:

• contact your GP
• manage appointments and prescriptions
• view some health information online

You do not need to use online services to get care. They are optional and designed to make things easier where possible.

NHS App

The NHS App is the main way to manage NHS services online. It is run by the NHS and available to people registered with a GP in England.

You can use the NHS App to manage GP services and access trusted NHS health information.
