The NHS Direct app for Android and iPhone



The NHS Direct app for Android and iPhone

NHS Direct has launched a mobile app that lets you access trusted and reliable healthcare advice from wherever you are, straight to your smartphone.

Instant on-screen advice

If you use an Android™ or iPhone® smartphone, you can download the app to assess your own or someone else’s symptoms. The app uses the same logic and questions as the health and symptom checkers you find on this website.You can access instant on- screen self-care advice or instructions on the most appropriate course of action, and save any self-care advice you are given back to the app or email it to yourself to access at a later date.

Download now for free

The apps are available for free download.

Access our symptom checkers

The app gives access to all our health and symptom checkers, covering a wide range of problems including dental pain, diarrhoea and vomiting, abdominal pain, rashes, back pain and burns.

You can also get advice about how to relieve symptoms associated with specific conditions such as flu and hay fever.

There’s even the opportunity to get more specialist advice on issues such as mental health, contraception, sexual health matters and pregnancy problems.

Linked to the phone service

The apps are linked to NHS Direct’s telephone service so, if a further assessment is recommended, you will be able to submit your contact details and an NHS Direct nurse advisor will call you back.

It will be possible to review and amend your answers at any point and expand information on specific symptoms should you need additional help identifying them.

What if I don’t have a smartphone?

The health and symptom checkers that are available through the app are also available online.

Additionally, NHS Direct’s online initial assessment symptom checker is now available on web-enabled mobile phones (such as BlackBerry®) by typing ‘mobile.nhsdirect.nhs.uk’ into the phone web-browser.
