To check your messages:
- Log in to the NHS app.
- Go to View your messages.

Get NHS App notifications when we send you a message
To turn on notifications:
- Log in to the NHS app.

- Use the toggle to turn notifications on or off.
You will see a new notification from the NHS App the next time we send you a message. Your notifications will tell you that you have a new message from your GP.
