NHS App will break down barriers to healthcare and reduce inequalities

The NHS App will be transformed so it gives every patient – whatever their postcode or background – information, choice, and control of their own healthcare so they have the best information at their fingertips, as the government’s 10 Year Health Plan closes the stark health inequalities faced by millions of people. Under the current system, wealthier patients often have more information about the country’s hospitals and access to better care. The improved NHS App will democratise care, so everyone, has the information they need about their conditions or procedures required.
