You can, you just have to decide which of the myriad fly-by-night apps you want to (give access to your data and) use.

Bafflingly insane IMO, the list of random scammy sounding private companies I was given a non-exhastive no-recommendation list of when signing up to a new GP. Why isn't it just one 'NHS GP' app?

I say this as a staunch Conservative. What are they possibly going to compete on?

I can't. As I understand it, it's organised separately by each surgery. So you might be able to but I can't. That also explains the use of sketchy apps!

Completely agree. They already have an app!

Who is They? GPs are typically small independent businesses contracted to the NHS, which is one of the reasons for the fragmentation.

The NHS of course. GPs already have to interface with other NHS systems.
