At WellAware, we believe empowering individuals with the right tools and information is essential for better health. The NHS app is a resource that puts your health at your fingertips, allowing you to book appointments, order repeat prescriptions, and access your medical records, all in one convenient place. Whether you’re new to the app or looking to make the most of its features, this page is designed to provide you with the support and resources you need.
We invite you to join the 34 million registered app users—75% of the adult population in the UK! You can take control of your health while supporting our NHS in saving millions of pounds each year on patient communications. Together, we can create a healthier future for everyone.
Here, you’ll find step-by-step guides, helpful tips, and answers to common questions, making it easier to confidently navigate the NHS app.
Do you need a device to access the app?
Did you know that you may be eligible for a free digital device from Bristol’s Community Learning team? Bristol City Council is working to distribute refurbished laptops and digital devices to Bristol residents who would benefit from better digital access.
They’ll give laptops to people such as:
- Unemployed parents or carers of 2-year-olds who are eligible for 15 hours free childcare
- Unemployed people, or people in insecure employment, aged 19 and over, with few or no qualifications
- Young people between the ages of 16 and 18, and up to the age of 25 if they have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
