🔎 Did you know you can view your detailed health record online?

Many patients aren't aware that their past medical notes, test results, and vaccination history can be accessed securely on their phone.

📱 How digital record access helps you:
• Check blood test results 24/7 without calling reception
• Review advice given during previous appointments
• Confirm vaccination dates for work, travel, or school
• Manage routine requests for family members with proxy access

The NHS App uses bank-grade encryption to ensure your personal health data remains completely private between you and your care team.
