Do you have medical appointments coming up or want to view test results but are struggling to use the NHS app? Then our free drop-in sessions may help.
Our Library Service is holding special free drop-in sessions across the county to help people download and use the app during Get Online Week (19 to 25 October).
If you know someone who would benefit from any of these sessions, please let them know.
Visit www.westsussex.gov.uk/getonline for more information.
Today in the UK, it’s reported that only 1 in 3 adults are described as comfortably online.
In West Sussex, it’s estimated that:
- 98,221 people are without a smartphone
- 131,422 are without a laptop
- 14% are without the essential digital skills for work
- 5% of adults are not online
Across the county, many residents still face barriers to accessing digital services – whether due to lack of skills, confidence, or connectivity. Those on low income, disabled people and older people are often more affected.
Please note that people who come to a session for support with downloading the NHS app must bring photo ID, and their NHS number if they have it.
Below is a list of drop-in sessions where residents can get help to download and use the NHS app.
