For a medical emergency call 999. For urgent but non-emergency medical help call NHS 111.

Mobile apps

The former NHS Direct mobile symptom-checker app has been discontinued. Current NHS mobile services in England are:

  • NHS App — book GP appointments, order repeat prescriptions and see your record. Available for iOS and Android.
  • 111 online at 111.nhs.uk — a mobile-friendly web service that works on any phone without installing anything.

For information about the NHS App see nhs.uk/nhs-app.
