Published: 9/30/2025
The UK government plans to launch an NHS online hospital service by 2027 to reduce waiting times. Patients can access this digital service for consultations, appointments, and tests through the NHS app. This initiative is part of a broader push towards digital innovation in healthcare, with a focus on areas like ophthalmology, gynaecology, and digestive conditions. The service aims to provide up to 8.5 million appointments and assessments within its first three years and improve patient access to care.
