Your library can help you to get the NHS App
If you have a smartphone but you don’t have the NHS App downloaded, then your local library can help you.
Millions of people are already using the NHS App to manage their health from the comfort of their homes.
All six council libraries in Stoke-on-Trent are offering support with the NHS App. Trained library staff can help you to access a range of NHS services and information on your smartphone or tablet.
If you are over the age of 16, the NHS App allows you to view your GP health record to help you better understand and manage your condition, without having to phone your GP surgery. With the app, you can access your consultation notes, letters and test results.
You can also order repeat prescriptions and easily change your preferred pharmacy, so you can send orders when and where it is best for you.
The NHS App makes it easy to access your appointment information and manage your hospital appointments. You can also find out your NHS number and access NHS 111 online to get instant advice or medical help near you.
If you want help to get started with the NHS App contact your local library or email Library.ICTMentorTeam@stoke.gov.uk
