The MyCare.scot app is now available for download on smartphones.

People across Scotland will now have direct access to their health information on their phone.

The first version of the free app will allow people to view their medications and allergies, check their vaccination history and use the national service finder to find local health and wellbeing services.

The release follows the successful launch of a web-based service that began local rollout in NHS Lanarkshire in December 2025 and national rollout in April.

Between now and 2030, the app will undergo further development to enable users to check appointments, provide information about themselves and receive digital letters through MyCare.scot.

When fully operational it will provide the most comprehensive health and care app in the UK.

Health Secretary Angela Constance recently met with patients and staff using MyCare.scot in Lanarkshire. She said: “The availability of MyCare.scot on the app store is an important milestone in this government’s programme to give people a single, secure digital access point to their personal health information.  

“I am clear that our NHS in Scotland will never be for sale. That is why the app has been developed within the public sector, protecting the privacy of patient medical records and ensuring best value for the taxpayer.

“Over time, MyCare.scot will make it easier to manage appointments, reduce the need for patients to retell their story, order prescriptions, and gain access to the information they need to help them stay well and supported. It will also be integrated with Scotland’s social care and social work system.” 

Karen Reid, Chief Executive of Public Services Delivery Scotland said: “MyCare.scot is about beginning to make it simpler for people in Scotland to access their own health and social care information, in a way that is secure and easy to use. The new mobile app is an important step forward, helping people find what they need quickly, to inform their care.

"Public Services Delivery Scotland is leading this work to bring information together in one place and create a more joined-up, consistent experience. We will continue to improve MyCare.scot based on what people tell us they need.”
