I use the NHS app too it works fine.
Can I just ask as I’m moving house can I still get my meds via the NHS app to a new pharmacy in a different town? Do I need to be registered to a new GP to do that?

This is what USED to be the case when i worked in primary care before retiring.

If your new house isn't in the catchment area of your present GP surgery then you will have to register with a new GP.

You are allowed to request prescriptions from old surgery for one month until the switchover to new surgery

Hopefully still the same

I was on holiday and ran out of meds, I used the app and had it sent to a pharmacy there. The app I use is MyGP, i dont know if that is different.

Ours now uses the nhs app for such things. Have a look on your practice website to see if theyve done the same. We now have to log in via nhs site.

For the past 7 years I have successfully used System on line to order medication, get test results, etc with no problems. When I changed practices 2 years ago I had no problem, same name and password. Trying to log on 2 days ago I discovered that name, password etc details had been removed and I had to re enter them, however this did not open the site. I tried several times but still unable to connect to system on line. Any one else had this problem, if so, how did you resolve it.
