We're introducing this update gradually. When it's available to you, you'll be able to update your app to version 6 or above.
You can:
- update the app on the Apple App Store if you have an Apple device
- update the app on the Google Play Store if you have an Android device
New home screen
On the new home screen, you'll find services and health information placed together in clearer categories:
- prescriptions
- appointments
- test results
- vaccinations
- health conditions
- documents
Depending on your GP surgery, the home screen may show allergies and adverse reactions instead of health conditions.
Simpler navigation
The updated app has 3 main areas:
- Home
- Messages
- Profile
You can move between these areas using the app menu bar.
Updated profile area
In your profile, you can manage your personal details and choices.
This is also where you can manage health services for family members or people you care for (sometimes called proxy access).
If you need help
You’ll find an app help button at the top of every screen. You can select it at any time to get information about using the NHS App.
You can also contact the NHS App support team if you're having problems.
Giving feedback
Your feedback helps us improve the NHS App.
You may see a survey link when you use the app. You can also leave a review on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to let us know what you think.
