NHS App

The NHS App provides a simple and secure way for people in Colchester and Tendring to access a range of NHS services on their smartphone or tablet.

It 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

If their GP practice is connected to the app, they can register and verify their identity so they can:

• book and manage appointments at their GP practice
• order their repeat prescriptions
• securely view their GP medical record
• register as an organ donor
• choose whether the NHS uses their data for research and planning
