Dear Patients,

We have recently received a number of queries from patients who are unable to view their consultation records in the NHS App.

Although patients still have full access to their medical records, we have investigated this issue and found that the NHS App has recently undergone several updates. As part of these changes, the "Consultations" tab has been moved and is no longer located where it was previously.

You can now find your consultation records under Appointments > Appointment Notes within the NHS App.

For more info and to read the latest updates within the NHS App, please visit:

IT Network Issues
We are currently experiencing ongoing IT issues that are affecting NHS services across the county, including GP surgeries. Unfortunately, we have not been given a timeframe for when these problems will be resolved, as they have persisted over the past week.
These disruptions are impacting response times for patients who have submitted medical requests and may continue to affect other services in the coming days. Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to manage and respond to all requests as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
