If you’re a patient at our practice you can now use the new NHS App, a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet.

You can use the NHS App to check your symptoms and get instant advice, book appointments, order repeat prescriptions, view your GP medical record and more.

If you already use The Charnwood Practice online service available at practice you can continue to use it. You can use the NHS App as well.

The musculoskeletal conditions self-management app has been developed to support patients by providing clear, accessible information about common MSK conditions, advice on how to manage an injury, along with exercise videos and links to useful websites to help with self-management. It also provides information on how to self-refer into MSK Physiotherapy and Podiatry services.

Leicester City healthcare Hub Information

Appointments at the healthcare hubs can only be booked by your GP practice, or NHS111 when your practice is closed. An appointment at a hub is not suitable in all cases. It is important that you tell the receptionist why you need an appointment so that it is booked in the right location and so you don’t have a wasted journey. For example, the hubs will not be able to issue an extension to a fit note.
