For these, you can use your NHS account or Patient Access. You can access them using their websites or apps.

To set up your NHS account for the first time, you will need to set up an NHS login. Read about how to set up NHS login (nhs.uk).

Once you have set up your NHS login, you can log in to your NHS account or download the NHS Apponto your phone.
