The NHS App is a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services and information on your smartphone or tablet. Millions of people are already using the NHS App to manage their health the easy way from the comfort of their homes.

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 order repeat prescriptions and easily change your nominated pharmacy, so you can send orders when and where it is best for you. Each prescription ordered electronically saves GP practices three minutes of time and a patient 18 minutes, making it more convenient for people and freeing up frontline staff to do other important duties.

The app makes it easy to access your appointment information and manage your hospital appointments. You can also find out your NHS number and access NHS 111 online to get instant advice or medical help near you.

Little Update from Langton Medical Centre!

Hello everyone, we wanted to give you a quick update! Like many places right now, we’re currently experiencing a bit of a blip with staff sickness. Our team is a little smaller than usual and there may not be a receptionist available at Boney Hay or Whittington surgeries.
Rest assured, we are all pulling together and doing our absolute best to keep things running smoothly and prioritize those who need us most. 🙏

What we kindly ask of you right now:
1. Please be patient on the phones. 📞 Wait times might be a little longer, but we will get to you!
2. Be kind to our team. 🤗 Everyone is working incredibly hard under pressure to deliver the best care possible. A little bit of kindness goes a long way!
3. Use our online services 💻 if your query isn't urgent—it can often be the quickest way to get information.
Thank you so much for your understanding and for bearing with us during this temporary time. We really appreciate the support of our wonderful community! 😊
