Changes to the NHS App
NHS App no longer available on older devices
The NHS App is no longer accessible as a mobile app for anybody using older devices. Patients using the following operating systems will no longer be able to access the NHS App via the mobile app:
- iOS 12, 13 & 14 (iOS 13 &14 can be updated to iOS15)
- Android 6
- Android 7
The NHS App is now only supported on:
- Android version 8 and above (on devices with a front-facing camera)
- Apple iOS version 15 and above
- Web browser: nhsapp.service.nhs.uk/login
Guidance on checking and updating devices is available on the NHS.UK website.
This change is following a recent redesign of the NHS App, which now operates as a native app, improving its functionality and structure. As part of this transition, users are being moved off the old legacy application onto the new version.
If you cannot use the NHS App on a mobile device, you can log in through the NHS website. You can then access services on your desktop, laptop computer, mobile or tablet using a web browser. See step by step video guidance showing how to use the NHS account on the NHS website

Recording and sharing health and social care information
We want to hear from you! Your experiences and opinions matter when it comes to shaping health and care services. We’re asking for your input on how well you feel health and social care professionals communicate to support you in making the right decisions about your care.
Your insights are vital in helping us improve how vital health and social care information is recorded and shared, making the process smoother and more empowering for everyone.
Take our survey at https://www.letstalksnee.co.uk/embeds/projects/38178/survey-tools/42736 to share your experiences with us - together we can make a real difference in shaping better care for all.
Developing guidance for patients, service users or family carers on reward, recognition and remuneration
Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Partnership have been working with the Patients Association on behalf of the East of England Integrated Care Boards to develop a survey that we can all circulate within our Integrated Care Systems to gather feedback from patients, service users and carers on their views on reward, recognition and remuneration. The feedback will help inform some principles that each Integrated Care Board can consider when developing their own policies for involvement. The link to the survey is below and the closing date is the 31st January:

Good Things Foundation help people do more online
They are looking at how to make people feel more confident to use digital health services, including things like:
• making a GP appointment online,
• a video call with a doctor / nurse,
• using the NHS app or other health apps.
They have been working with people who have faced difficulties doing things online to understand their concerns about digital health services and want to gather views from more people on ideas for a tool to help address these concerns.
Online discussions are being held as follows:
20th or 21st January for community members
16th or 22nd January for healthcare staff
They also have an online survey running throughout January.
To register your interest for one of the online discussions or to take the survey go to https://forms.gle/QoSQhpbCtCnW5Go46
To participate, you don't have to have lots of experience using digital health services as a patient or as a healthcare worker. It's fine just to be interested in this topic and to want to help make digital health services easier to access.
For participants who are not healthcare staff, we can offer a shopping voucher as a thank you for your time.

Suffolk Suicide Prevention Action Plan
Suffolk County Council’s Public Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Team is asking people to support the development and delivery of our suicide prevention action plan.
In Suffolk, working aged men are at the highest risk of suicide. We want to focus our efforts over the next 12 months to improve the experience of working aged men in Suffolk, and we need your help.
We are seeking volunteers to help shape our approach – could that be you?
Working groups are being set up to tackle the following areas:
• Awareness Raising, Information, Advice and Guidance
• Risk Reduction
• Crisis Support
You may also wish to become a member of the Suffolk Suicide Prevention Partnership – a virtual forum where you can receive information about the programme and the progress we make.
So, if you are a working aged man living or working in Suffolk and you would like to be part of a conversation to improve the wellbeing of men we are waiting to hear from you.
Please send an email to publicmentalhealth@suffolk.gov.uk to express your interest.
