Eluned Morgan MS, Welsh minister for health and social services has announced that the new NHS Wales App is currently in public beta testing stage and will be published on Apple and Google app stores for download. It will also be available at NHS Wales App website (English) and Ap GIG Cymru (Cymraeg).
The app has already undergone private beta testing with 700 people from 10 GP practices. The first phase of testing helped to identify and address some minor bugs.
Some app functions, such as in-app access to 111 and organ donation online services, will be available to all but others, such as appointment booking, repeat prescription re-ordering, and viewing a summary of a GP health record, will only be available later, once a person’s GP practice has enabled the functionality.
