How to use online health services

1. Find out which providers you can use

Check your GP surgery's website to find out what services are available online and which providers you can use.

They should tell you if you can choose from more than 1 provider.

2. Choose a provider

If there is only 1 online health services provider you can use, visit their website or download their app.

If you can choose from more than 1 provider, visit the websites of the different providers to find out what they offer.

Some apps and websites let you order a repeat prescription and use a pharmacy of your choice. Some pharmacies have branded apps and websites. If you use one, they will become your regular pharmacy for prescriptions.

Some providers let you register online using NHS login. You may want to think about how you register when choosing a provider.
