Structure Integrating services into the NHS App

The NHS App is made up of over 60 different services. We integrate services into the app in ways that make them feel like a coherent part of the app experience.

This section covers the 3 integration types and the guidance you need to follow for each.

Before you start, read the overview of integrating with the NHS App to find out how integrations work and how to get onboarded.

Integration types

Integration type When to use
Default browser integration Unauthenticated, third-party information websites where you do not need to control the presentation or journey
Custom web view integration Website-based NHS App journeys, NHS website journeys, and authenticated third-party journeys
API integration Services that can expose structured data via a compliant API, allowing the NHS App to display it in native screens

Work with the NHS App team to confirm the right integration type for your service before you begin adapting your content or build.
