Do you have the NHS app?

... other useful Local Authority and NHS updates

A key part of the winter plan in Oxfordshire is to encourage people to know which healthcare service to use and when.

Health professionals in Oxfordshire are urging people to sign up to the NHS App as winter pressure on services increases. The App can help
people get the right care they need from the most appropriate place, make a GP appointment or even avoid a visit to a hospital Emergency Department.

The all-round NHS App is different from the NHS COVID-19 App, which is specifically focused on combating the virus and the pandemic. You can use the NHS App to:

 Check your symptoms, including COVID-19
 Find out what to do when you need help urgently
 Book and manage appointments at your GP surgery
 Order repeat prescriptions
 View your GP medical record securely
 Register to be an organ donor
 Choose how the NHS uses your data

You can download the NHS App free from Google Play and Apple app stores. If you have any issues using or downloading the app, check the NHS App help and support page.
