The NHS App has introduced a family access feature, enabling users to add other profiles to their app account to manage the health needs of relatives they are caring for who are registered at the same GP practice.

Verification checks are done through national NHS systems and via the GP practice before access is granted. Once enabled, a user can switch between their own and a relative’s profile, enabling them to book GP appointments, order repeat prescriptions or access medical information like care plans for a person they care for (where this has been approved by the GP practice).
