Error code 3f means your GP Practice does not currently support the NHS account.
This could be due to one of the following reasons:
- you are registered to a GP Practice located outside of England - Please see (1) below
- you are registered to an armed forces GP Practice (Army, Navy and Air Force) - Please see (2) below
(1) If your GP Practice is located outside of England
The NHS App is not available in:

This is because their health services are devolved.
