Previewing and downloading your documents
Some documents cannot be previewed within the NHS App and will need to be downloaded to your device to view.
For Apple devices, Apple has a guide on viewing and managing files on your device.
For Android devices, Android has a guide on finding and opening files on your device.
When you download a document, it becomes your responsibility to keep it private. If you share your device with someone else, or if you’re using a public computer (like in a library), other people might be able to see your health information.
To protect your privacy, only download medical documents onto a device that only you can access. If you’re using a shared device, make sure to delete any downloaded files before you log out of the device.
Unavailable documents
Some documents may show as being unavailable in the NHS App. Contact your GP surgery to request these documents.
Incorrect or missing information
If any information in your documents is incorrect or missing, contact your GP surgery.
