NHS Patient Forum for Unofficial Medical Questions and Patient to Patient Help and Support

Please note that we are an unofficial NHS Patient forum that can generally discuss treatments and / or hospitals etc medical or otherwise. WE CAN NEVER PROVIDE SPECIFIC ADVICE OR HELP. In an emergency call 999. Otherwise seek an appointment with your local GP. Our forum is for open discussion only. Not personal treatment or care.

Also note that we are an 18 year old established forum management company that owns the worlds largest construction industry network of forums. So if you post a medical thread of your own (in our private forum) you can refer to it over time. We will never share information with a third party, or any official 'body'.

How to log in to the NHS App​

To use the NHS App, you’ll need to set up an NHS login.

Logging in​

You can log in to the NHS App by either:
  • entering your NHS login email and password and receiving a security code
  • using fingerprint, face or iris recognition (biometrics) if your device supports it
You can also log in through the NHS website. You can do this by using your NHS login email and password, and a security code sent to your mobile phone.

Setting up biometric login in the NHS App​

The first time you log in to the NHS App, you will be asked whether you would like to turn on biometric login. This will be described as:
  • fingerprint, face or iris recognition if you use an Android device
  • Touch ID or Face ID if you use an Apple device
If you turn this on, the next time you log in, you'll be asked to touch the fingerprint sensor or look at the device.
To change your biometric login settings at any time:
  1. Go to your Account and then Settings.
  2. For Android select Fingerprint, face or iris. For Apple select Touch ID or Face ID.
Follow the on-screen instructions and toggle biometric login on or off.

Help with biometrics​

If you're using an Android device and your fingerprint, face or iris is not recognised, try logging in with a different type of biometrics, if your device supports it. For example, try logging in using your fingerprint if your face is not recognised.
If you cannot use biometrics, log in using your email, password and security code instead.
