How to use the NHS Health and Symptom checker app

Checking your symptoms
Scroll through the list of symptom checkers, pick the one that best matches your symptoms and answer the questions.

Health advice
After working through our symptom checker, we’ll give you advice on what to do next, whether that means seeing your GP, going to a walk-in centre or looking after yourself at home.

Looking after yourself
If you can treat your symptoms yourself, we’ll provide you with a step-by-step self help guide on what you can do to make yourself better. You can save this information to your device so you can access it at any time.

Note: This app is provided for people living in England only. For health advice and information for people living in other parts of the UK, please visit NHS Northern Ireland (http://www.hscni.net/), NHS 24 Scotland (http://www.nhs24.com/) or NHS Direct Wales (http://www.nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk/) as appropriate.

NHS 111 is a new service that's being introduced to make it easier for you to access local NHS healthcare services. You can call 111 when you need medical help fast but it’s not a 999 emergency. NHS 111 is a fast and easy way to get the right help, whatever the time.

    The app doesn't give any guides. There is no search option. As far as I can tell it just refers you to the GP. And nhsdirect mobile online loads so slowly. The alphabetic list does not work and again no search. ... I have the Samsung G3

    Have to set up gender & DoB for every search - cannot save settings. Cannot exit out of the programme without force closing via task manager - the back arrow steps back through symptom checker. Most options lead to same 3 results so not v practical
