The NHS app vs Patient Access app?

NHS - https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/nhs-services/the-nhs-app
Patient Access - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.patient.patientaccess

I've been using Patient Access for years. Both web-based and their app. The press is now pushing people towards the NHS app but it seems to have the same sort of functionality. Like book GP appointments, request repeat prescriptions, view your medical record, send a message to your GP etc. Is the NHS app replacing Patient Access? Just checking here first to avoid duplication.

Thanks guys

Patient Access was the site/app advised by my surgery, so I'll carry on using that unless anything changes.

I'm just curious how detailed are your medical records on this site? tempted to get a code from my GP surgery just to see what mine says.

I'm not sure actually! I've not seen a GP for 4 years because it's impossible to get an appointment with my practice for the last couple of years now. So yeah my medical record is showing as empty.
