Step 3: Download the NHS App
- Use the NHS App first to create your NHS Login . You need a UK mobile phone number, email address and Photo ID (Passport, UK/European Driving License or European ID card). It can help to have your NHS number at hand.
Step 4: Await confirmation that you have been registered & request Online Access to your Records
We aim to register you as quickly as possible and within 5 working days. If you have given us a UK mobile phone number, we will send you a text message to confirm you have been registered. If you do not receive such a message, you can email us at admin.gurunanak@nhs.net for an update.
Step 5: Registration Medical – Patient NHS Health Check
To complete the registration process, you are required to have a Health Check with our Health Care Assistant or Nurse who will check your blood pressure and offer advice on healthy lifestyle.
If you are between 40 and 74 you may be invited for an NHS health check as part of the registration process even if you do not have a long term medical condition.
This appointment enables us to collect medical information before your medical records arrive. It is also the start of screening for other medical problems. Please bring any medications that you are currently taking.
It is a 10-minute appointment and needs to be booked at the time you receive the appointment link when we are processing your registration and before an appointment can be booked with the GP.
