Managing Your Child’s Health with Proxy Access on the NHS App: A Quick Guide
Want to manage your child’s health easily? With proxy access on the NHS App, you can view and book appointments, order prescriptions, and check medical records—all in one place.
It’s simple and secure, and here’s how to get started:
What is Proxy Access?
Proxy access allows you to use the NHS App to manage someone else’s healthcare, like your child’s.
It’s perfect for parents and carers who want to keep track of their child’s appointments, prescriptions, and health information.
You can also use proxy access for other relatives – like an older parent – or anyone else you care for.
Getting Set Up
Proxy access can be given to parents, legal guardians or carers. Anyone aged 13 and over needs to consent to you having access to their records.
