SUMMARY

Under a new 10-year health plan, all patients will have access to same-day GP appointments through the NHS App by 2028. The app will utilize AI for remote consultations and triaging, aimed at encouraging self-management and offering a "personal health coach" experience.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting emphasized empowering patients with comprehensive health data, shifting from treatment to prevention. The app will also enable self-referrals to specialists and help patients manage their healthcare.

Concerns remain regarding access for those not digitally savvy and whether current GP capacity can meet increased demand.
