NHS England - benefits of the NHS app
The NHS App is a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services and information on your smartphone or tablet. Millions of people are already using the NHS App to manage their health the easy way from the comfort of their homes.
If you are over the age of 16 the NHS App enables 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.
The NHS App also enables you to manage repeat prescriptions and easily change your nominated pharmacy, so you can send orders when it’s convenient for you. Each prescription ordered electronically saves GP practices three minutes of time and a patient 18 minutes, making it more convenient for people and freeing up frontline staff to do other important duties.

Scotland: Childrens Mental Health Week - Forces Children Scotland and Armed Forces Covenant Fund co-produced health and wellbeing resources for young people.
Co-produced digital mental health and wellbeing resources with and for young people from armed forces and veteran families.
Many children and young people told us being in an armed forces or veteran family can lead to unique challenges when it comes to mental health and wellbeing.
They also said civilian friends, teachers and decision-makers don’t understand how the lives they lead can impact how they can feel on day-to-day basis.
We listened and secured funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund to work directly with children and young people to make our Your Mind Matters Hub happen.
