To view your covid vaccination records:

The UK Government recently announced that Covid19 Vaccine Passports will be made available in England from the 17^th May 2021 on the NHS App – the NHS App is different from the NHS Covid19 App, therefore please do not confused the two apps.  The link below gives you details of how to download the NHS App to any internet connected computer you may have or to your Smartphone.

Please do not contact the Surgery to ask about the downloading the Vaccine Passport, as Surgery staff cannot do anything to make it visible.

If you do not want to use the NHS App Covid19 Vaccine Passport, after the 17^th May 2021 you can telephone 119 to request that a paper certificate be posted to you (which will take at least 5 working days to reach you in the post).

If you feel the details shown on either your NHS App or your paper NHS Vaccine Passport are incorrect (for example your Passport may only contain details of one dose of Covid19 Vaccine, when you may have already had your second dose), in this case please feel free to contact the Surgery to discuss the matter further, when Surgery staff will aim to correct the matter.  The link for more information on the NHS App is:

Your Data Matters to the NHS

Information about your health and care helps us to improve your individual care, speed up diagnosis, plan your local services and research new treatments. The NHS is committed to keeping patient information safe and always being clear about how it is used.

How your data is used

Information about your individual care such as treatment and diagnoses is collected about you whenever you use health and care services. It is also used to help us and other organisations for research and planning such as research into new treatments, deciding where to put GP clinics and planning for the number of doctors and nurses in your local hospital.  It is only used in this way when there is a clear legal basis to use the information to help improve health and care for you, your family and future generations.

Wherever possible we try to use data that does not identify you, but sometimes it is necessary to use your confidential patient information.

You have a choice

You do not need to do anything if you are happy about how your information is used. If you do not want your confidential patient information to be used for research and planning, you can choose to opt out securely online or through a telephone service. You can change your mind about your choice at any time.

Will choosing this opt-out affect your care and treatment?

No, choosing to opt out will not affect how information is used to support your care and treatment. You will still be invited for screening services, such as screenings for bowel cancer.

What do you need to do?

If you are happy for your confidential patient information to be used for research and planning, you do not need to do anything.
