North West GP urges ‘have health services in your pocket this summer with the NHS App’
One of the North West’s leading GPs is encouraging people to ‘keep health services in their pocket’ this summer by using the NHS App to stay well and get any medical help they need.
As meteorological summer gets underway following the summer solstice on 21 June, Dr Paula Cowan, GP and Regional Medical Director for Primary Care for NHS England in the North West, said the App is one of the easiest and most convenient ways for people to find local health services if they need medical help or advice while on holiday or taking a day trip in England.
People can also use the NHS App this summer to:
- Access NHS 111 online to access help and advice for symptoms or injury
- Order any repeat prescriptions that are due before going on holiday to ensure they don’t run out of vital medication
- Easily access their GP health records and any test results.
Dr Cowan said:
“Over the summer people are often away visiting different parts of the country and, if they’re not aware of local health services, may use A&E as their first port of call for minor health conditions that could be treated elsewhere.
“The NHS App has a useful feature that enables people to look up local NHS services including GP, dentist, pharmacy, urgent care services, mental health services, sexual health services and more.
“The App means people can keep health services in their pocket, ensuring they get the right treatment in the right place as quickly and conveniently as possible, freeing up time to do more of what they enjoy and ensuring emergency services are there for those that need them most.”
Almost four million patients (3,980,160) aged 13+ in the North West have already registered for the NHS App (as of 23 June, 2025), with around six and a half million patient log-ins each month and over 48,000 appointments being managed on the App monthly.
The NHS App helps people to get well, stay well and manage their health care. It’s a simple and secure way to:
- order repeat prescriptions
- find NHS services
- view your GP health record
- get reminders and messages
- and much more …
It’s free and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You can download the NHS App or find the same services on the NHS website: www.nhs.uk/nhs-app.
