Over 30 million people have now signed up to use the NHS App, according to NHS Digital.

The organisation has published new figures saying that, in addition to the sign-ups, the app has been used to register 448,000 organ donation decisions, to update 832,000 of these, to order over 19.3 million repeat prescriptions in the year to August 2022, and to book 1.4 million GP appointments over the same period.

Susie Day, NHS Digital director of delivery, NHS App, said: “It’s great to see rising numbers of people using the app to register and manage their organ donation decisions and we encourage everyone, if they haven’t already done so, to record this important decision through the app or online.”   

NHS director for transformation Dr Tim Ferris said: “We are transforming the NHS App into a front door for the NHS, so the millions of people currently using it can set their organ donation preferences but also do much more to manage their health and access services.”
