NHS services are increasingly send messages to users via the App – it’s a convenient and secure way to get appointment reminders and other messages that you might usually get a different way – for example, through text messages or letters.

If you do not turn on notifications, you may not receive some of these messages.

How to manage your notification preferences

  1. Log in to the NHS App.
  2. Select the Account icon in the top corner.
  3. Select Settings.
  4. Select Manage notifications.
  5. Follow the link to your device settings.
  6. The toggle is green when notifications are on.

Turning your notifications on or off may take up to 24 hours to take effect.

If you use the app on multiple devices, you’ll need to allow notifications on each device.
