About NHS Scotland

NHS Scotland, also known as National Health Service Scotland, is a publicly funded healthcare system in Scotland, part of the United Kingdom. It was established on 1 January 1948 and is headquartered in Edinburgh. Its official website is https://www.scot.nhs.uk/.
NHS Scotland is the publicly funded healthcare system for Scotland. This status page tracks reported problems with its online services, including the website, apps, appointment booking, patient records access, and logins. If something is not working for you right now, this page is a good first stop. You can see what other people are reporting and whether the issue sits with NHS Scotland's platforms or with your own setup. Reports are collected as they come in, so the picture stays current throughout the day.
NHS Scotland provides healthcare across Scotland, and much of that care now touches digital services. Patients use online tools to book and manage appointments, view records, and access NHS services through apps and the website. These systems handle a large volume of traffic, especially on weekday mornings. The most common issues are login failures, slow-loading appointment pages, and records that fail to display. App can also have trouble after updates, and the main website sometimes becomes unresponsive during peak demand. Identity verification steps, such as security code delivery, are another frequent point of friction. Before reporting a problem, check a few things on your side. Confirm your internet connection is stable, try a different browser or the app's latest version, and make sure your login details are current. Clearing the app cache or waiting a few minutes often resolves short-lived errors. If the issue persists and others are reporting it too, it is likely on the service side.

Why can I not log in to my NHS Scotland account?

Login problems usually come from incorrect credentials, an expired password, or delays receiving a security code. Reset your password first and check that your contact details are up to date. If the problem continues, see whether others are reporting login issues on this page.
