Patient portal apps

Apps that enable New Zealanders to access local online health services through patient portals.

Patient portals are secure online sites, provided by GPs, where you can access your health information and interact with your general practice. The choice of which patient portal you use is determined by which one your GP has signed up for. Depending on what your GP has included, you can use a patient portal to book appointments, access your medical history, and check your medical records and lab results. The following are examples of patient portals available to New Zealanders.
