Scam - The NHS App will never ask for your bank account or card details. To ensure that you are accessing the correct NHS App, you can visit NHS Counter Fraud Authority which provides useful tips on how to stay vigilant against fraudulent text messages.

If you receive a call and suspect it to be fraudulent, hang up. If you are suspicious about NHS Covid Pass or vaccine certificate fraud you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting Crimestoppers online or by phone at 0800 587 5030.

Other services in the NHS App

If your GP surgery or hospital offers other services in the NHS App, you may be able to:

  • message your GP surgery, doctor or health professional online
  • consult a GP or health professional through an online form and get a reply
  • access health services on behalf of someone you care for
  • view your hospital and other healthcare appointments
  • view useful links your doctor or health professional has shared with you
 

Keeping your data secure

After you download the app, you will need to set up an NHS login and prove who you are. The app then securely connects to information from your GP surgery.

If your device supports fingerprint detection or facial recognition, you can use it to log in to the NHS App each time, instead of using a password and security code.
