NHS App

The NHS App

Most of it, you can do yourself

Repeat prescriptions, test results, your GP record and your appointments — on your phone, at any hour, without waiting for us to open. It is free, and it is the quickest way to get most things done.

Repeat prescriptionsOrder them, track them, and set the pharmacy you want them sent to.
Test resultsSee results as soon as they have been filed to your record.
AppointmentsCheck what is booked, and cancel what you no longer need.
Your GP recordYour conditions, allergies, medicines and immunisations.
Letters and documentsOpen and download the letters we have sent you.
Someone you care forWith their permission, manage another person’s care too.
Get the NHS App

Free for anyone aged 13 or over who is registered with a GP surgery in England. Prefer a computer? The same services are on the NHS website at nhs.uk/nhs-app.

Often faster than waiting for us

You may not need the surgery at all

Some things are dealt with quicker — and just as safely — somewhere other than here. All of these are free on the NHS, and none of them need a referral from us.

No appointment needed

Your local pharmacy

Under Pharmacy First, a pharmacist can assess you and give you prescription medicine for seven conditions, without seeing a GP:

Walk in, or ring the pharmacy first to check they can see you.

24 hours a day

NHS 111 online

Answer a few questions and 111 will tell you what to do and where to go. It can arrange an urgent appointment for you, including out of hours and at weekends.

Use it when you need help quickly but it isn't an emergency, or when we're closed.

Walk in, 8am to 8pm daily

Clevedon Minor Injury Unit

Not for coughs, colds, sore throats, rashes, tummy pain or dental pain.

North Somerset Community Hospital, Old Street, Clevedon BS21 6BS. No appointment needed.

Refer yourself

Talking therapies

You don't need to see a GP first. If you're 16 or over and registered with us, you can refer yourself for help with anxiety, low mood, stress, grief or panic.

We can't help with this one

Dental problems

GPs cannot treat toothache, dental abscesses or dental injuries, and we cannot prescribe for them. If you're in pain and have no dentist, 111 will find you urgent dental care.

Call 111 or use 111.nhs.uk

Check first

Look it up on the NHS website

Plain, trustworthy information on symptoms, conditions and medicines — including how long things normally take to get better, and the signs that mean you should get seen.
