Patients in Ireland can view appointments in HSE Health App

More than 900,000 patients in Ireland are now able to view their appointments in the Health Service Executive (HSE) Health App.

From 11 September 2025, patients across 31 hospitals in the country can keep track of their appointments more easily in the app and access their personal health and social care information.

Maternity appointments have been available to view since the app was launched by the Department of Health and HSE on 25 February 2025.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, minister for health, said: “I am delighted that so many more patients can now view their appointments in the HSE Health App.

“This will make it easier for them to keep track of their appointments when they download and log in to the app, and I would encourage everyone to do so.

“Work is also underway to add more appointments over time. This phased introduction of appointment notifications is the first step to enabling patients to book, reschedule or cancel certain appointments in the app.

“It enables us to ensure that more patients are provided with easily accessible health information that is accurate and trustworthy.”

HSE are working with all the remaining public hospitals across Ireland to enable their patients to see their appointments in the app. Telehealth appointments will also be added into the app early next year.

Patients can see their BreastCheck screening appointments in the app, sign up to get week-by-week information about pregnancy if expecting a baby, and carry digital versions of health cards, such as Medical Card and European Health Insurance Card.

The QUIT stop smoking service is also available in the Health App, which allows people to sign up for a free, personalised plan to help them stop smoking and get one-to-one support from a trained advisor.

Damien McCallion, chief technology and transformation officer at HSE, said: “The evolving HSE Health App is an essential tool as we move towards a single digital health record for everyone, ensuring people are empowered partners in their healthcare journey.

“Today’s development represents significant progress in our journey to a more digital and user-friendly health service.

“We will continue to build on this success and will work with our voluntary hospitals, to ensure our patients, wherever they are receiving care, will have all their appointments in one app.

“In parallel we are developing the National Shared Care Record, a digital snapshot which will enable all clinicians involved in a patient’s care to access important health information.

“Patients will be able to access their information through the HSE Health App.”

Future features planned for the app include waiting list information, access for expectant mothers to their full maternity chart, additional self-care information and support, and access to additional personal health information.

They will be guided by ongoing research and engagement with patients, staff, advocacy organisations and the public.
