Managing your health online

Setting up an NHS account

To have an NHS account you must be aged 13 or over and registered with an NHS GP Surgery in England. To set up your NHS account for the first time, you will need to set up an NHS login. Read about how to set up NHS login (nhs.uk).

Once you have set up your NHS login, you can log in to your NHS account or download the NHS App onto your phone (available on IOS and Android).

Using your NHS account

 There are other tasks you can do online, like:

  • order repeat prescriptions
  • view your test results
  • see parts of your health record
  • check or cancel appointments
  • see your vaccination record
  • register your organ donation decision

For these, you can use your NHS account. You can access them using their websites or apps.
