  • Does anyone know if the view of the GP record in the app is sourced from a feed of GP data into a large repository, updated every time the GP record is changed (publish/subscribe model) or is it being published live from the GP system itself? Does it work for all GP systems?

  • I have just had an FOI response from NHS Digital with more information about this app – search under my requests at whatdotheyknow dot com.

  • NHS App and NHS Login (catchy!) 2 massive wastes of public money that are trying to solve problems that don’t exist and have no real benefit to the public.

    If the NHS is developing an App why is it also promoting and wasting more money on its NHS App Library and assurance service? Isn’t that just a bit counterintuitive?

    • Interesting argument, Steve. I’d counter that access to health records, prescription ordering and appointment booking via a smartphone app would solve a number of gripes experienced by modern NHS patients. Provided it delivers, of course.

      • Not really, because it doesn’t address the underlying reasons why these are “gripes” exist in the first place.

      • Apps to do that are already available, and have been for some time.

  • Sorry Leicester isn’t on the private beta trial!
