The NHS App enables people to:

• check their symptoms using the health A-Z on the NHS website
• find out what to do when they need help urgently using NHS 111 online
• register as an organ donor
• choose whether the NHS uses their data for research and planning

Patients can register and verify their identity so they can:

• book and manage appointments at their GP practice
• order their repeat prescriptions
• view their GP medical record securely

The NHS App is now available to the public on Google Play and Apple app stores.
