Make Healthcare Simpler with the NHS App

The NHS App makes it quicker and easier to access healthcare services, from booking appointments to ordering prescriptions. By promoting it, we can help reduce pressure on services and improve patient experience. Explore the toolkit to support uptake in your community.

Accessing NHS services shouldn’t feel complicated. The NHS App is designed to make managing your health quicker, easier, and more convenient—right from your smartphone or tablet. Whether you need to order repeat prescriptions, book appointments, or check your health information, the app helps you stay in control without the need to call or visit your GP practice. By putting key services in one place, it reduces the time and effort involved in managing day-to-day healthcare needs. 

 

Resources to Help You Promote the App 

To support wider adoption, the NHS has developed a comprehensive toolkit with ready-to-use promotional materials. This includes posters, social media graphics, and practical guidance to help organisations raise awareness. These resources make it simple for GP practices, community groups, and healthcare providers to share consistent messages and encourage patients to start using the app. 

 

Using these materials across different channels—such as waiting rooms, websites, and social media—can help reach a wider audience. Clear, accessible messaging can make a significant difference, especially for those who may not yet be confident using digital healthcare tools. 

 

Supporting Better Access for Everyone 

The NHS App not only benefits patients but also helps reduce pressure on healthcare services by cutting down on phone calls and administrative tasks. It is particularly valuable for people managing long-term conditions, offering a more direct and reliable way to stay connected with care. 

 

By promoting the app within your organisation or community, you can help improve access to services and create a more efficient, patient-friendly NHS. Small actions—like sharing a link or displaying a poster—can make a big impact.
