If you are over the age of 16 the NHS App enables you to view your GP health record to help you better understand and manage your condition, 
without having to phone your GP surgery. With the App you can access your consultation notes, letters and test results. 
The NHS App also enables you to manage repeat prescriptions and easily change your nominated pharmacy, so you can send orders when it’s
