We are aware many of you have had trouble with the NHS App. This app is not run or managed by your GP Practice, but it would appear that the system upgrade that is taking place across Practices in Bury has affected many being able to access the NHS App.

For those patients that do not use the NHS App

For those patients that do not use the NHS App to order your repeat medication online, this is a very secure and convenient way of ordering your repeat medication and in addition it allows you to access your COVID passport as well. If you haven’t downloaded and registered for it before then you should have no issue, as this is only affecting those that had the NHS app before.

A handy instructional video of how to download and register can be found below:

You can complete the whole registration process without having to phone us, as the NHS app has facial recognition software that uses your passport or driving license as a way of identifying you.

If you have been having problems with the NHS App

We have been troubleshooting how to fix the app for those that have had problems recently. If you have been affected then please follow these steps to try and rectify the issue.

Step 1)
