Is it really you?

The NHS and your Doctor already know a few things about you:-

In addition if you have already used an NHS online service

If you do not have an email address then you can ask a friend or family member to use the app on your behalf

Catch 22 you need to use the NHS App but don't have a password.   In which case you will need to set up a new account.  To do this make sure that you have all the five numbered items listed above. Your Doctor or pharmacist will know your NHS number.  

=========================

But first  

Two Factor Authentication (2FA)

If you are not too happy with email or mobile phones then it may better to get a friend to act for you.

The NHS will need to check that it is really you asking to gain access to your account. Your password is ok but you could have given your password to somebody else.

What is needed is something that only you have.

Your mobile phone number is unique in this world.  To prove it is you the NHS will send a text message to your phone.

This message will have a code within it, maybe six numbers. You have to read the message, note the numbers and key in those numbers on the App

It's no good using your Daughter's phone number if she lives miles away.
