Introducing MyCare.scot  

MyCare.scot is Scotland’s new online app that will make it easier for people to access their health and social care information in one secure place. 

MyCare.scot is part of the national Digital Front Door programme, led by NHS Education for Scotland in partnership with the Scottish Government. The DFD Programme is working with health and care colleagues and users across Scotland to develop an online service which will change how people access their health and social care information.   

The first version of the MyCare.scot app will launch in Lanarkshire in December 2025, with a full rollout across Scotland starting from April 2026. 

In this first version, users will be able to log in securely to: 

• Check and update personal details 

• View upcoming appointments 

• Receive digital letters 

• See information about medicines, allergies and vaccinations 

• Access a directory of health and care services 

As MyCare.scot develops, people will be able to do much more, like booking appointments and checking test results. ​  

Greg Thomson, DFD Programme Director said: 

“We are building the service step by step, in line with the Digital Scotland Service Standard. 

“The initial launch will take place in Lanarkshire in December, and we will carry out a thorough evaluation to understand what’s working and what could be improved. Feedback and real world experience will shape MyCare.scot’s development before we gradually roll it out across Scotland from April 2026. 

“By working closely with people across Scotland who use the service, we are making sure the app meets real needs and helps reduce pressure on the system.” 

Health Secretary Neil Gray said: 

“MyCare.scot is the single biggest digital innovation in Scotland’s health and social care system and will revolutionise how people manage and receive their healthcare. 

“We have worked closely with NHS Education for Scotland and key stakeholders to develop MyCare.scot, and I want to thank everyone who has worked hard to help us reach this stage and to ensure we deliver rollout of the app across the country from April.”
