NHS app

It’s easy to set up and register. I’ve just moved GP so we shall see how it copes with it.

You will only see your GP records if your surgery has switched that functionality on.

Bluebell my husband didn't have to either but he was registered with the GP for online repeat prescriptions ect

i couldn't install it at all

I commented on another thread about this I didn’t have to send photos or anything else and it was very easy and straightforward just nhs number, name, birthdate and password, bingo

I also have no access to my records either I did only download it for travel to Jersey

Thank you very much its sorted now but there is no access to basic patient records. I will ring the surgery and ask about that thanks again.

I didn’t have any trouble but I registered it fairly early on. My husband had more trouble when he tried more recently.

I did it was a bit of a faff with taking photos ect as I rarely go to gp.
You must keep in the application process open as you receive your code. If you come out to look at the message containing the code it will refuse it

Good luck with that! I had a nightmare getting registered, partly because my GP practice hadn't switched it on their end. Another year later tried again, but I had to go in and get a code from them to put in. I really hoped they might have streamlined it by now.

I have to say having finally got access, it is useful.
