Healthwatch guides to help you get online advice and support

Use our new Healthwatch guides to help you get to grips with using health websites and apps. From Patient Access and NHS App to using Zoom, you can download and print our step-by-step guides.

We've put together a series of guides to help people sign-up to and use apps and other online resources. The guides are broken down into simple steps to help first time users.

You can register for Patient Access, the NHS app or askmyGP to connect to your GP surgery, and learn how to use video calling apps such as Zoom to stay connected with family and friends. 

Click on the pink box below to open each guide. You can download and print them for easy reference.
