GP STAFF across Worcestershire are encouraging patients to use the NHS App more to manage their health. Anyone aged 13 or over who is registered with an NHS GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man, is eligible to use the NHS App. “It really is so quick and easy to request repeat prescriptions using the NHS App and every repeat prescription ordered this way saves you and the NHS system time. “Patients can also get test results in the NHS App faster than contacting the surgery as they are viewable in the app as soon as they are viewed by the GP. “It is also vital that patients switch on notifications on the NHS App so that they receive messages from their practice and hospital immediately.”Visit www.nhs.uk/nhsapp for more information.
