Except 1. it’s displayed differently snd more coherently on the NHS App. 2. More information appears on your NHS ( Covid apart ). Some third party non GP info, especially tests, appears on the NHS App and not on Patient Access. That’s generally because your GP makes the entries from EMIS to Patient Access which transfers to NHS. Certain non GP tests get uploaded direct to NHS App but don’t transfer to Patient Access. 3. Your vaccination record appears on both. 4. your Covid Vaccination passport on NHS App is sourced from a different, English NHS data base, called Pinnacle, that doesn’t currently receive or share IOM data, and has more info like type of vaccine, batch number. Are you saying you didn't use the info from patient access (id number or whatever its called) to verify your identity for NHS app but did that verification some other way and your data was visible?

Just download it. The instructions are easy. You’ll need to be able to upload photo I’d ( passport ) and address confirmation. You need your NHS number. No codes or ID from GP or Patient Access. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, If you have any meds, your NHS number should be on the prescription slip from the chemist which accompanies them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also visible on patient access if you already have that. On mine it's shown in the contact details section of the account menu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this letter has a unique QR code on it which can be scanned just as the QR code on the app itself is. You won't need a phone, but you will need to get online to generate the letter. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/covid-status-letter/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The web generated letter uses a barcode. Or in UK you can ring 119. Not complicated, except for the moaning Minnies who want the NHS to give them a butler to do it on their behalf.

The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Does your vaccination history appear on the Patient Access app? We have a difference of opinion in our house about it. I am getting the codes required from my group practice next week so I can utilise the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need the NHS app for that. The NHS app does most of what patient access does anyway. I ordered my last repeat prescription through the NHS app. Edited June 18, 2021 by madmanxpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also appears on the NHS App, under immunisations. But there is a specific additional segment of the NHS App for the certificate/passport. Nothing appears there on the NHS App, for IOM residents, yet. Screen shots - patient access first. NB. I only had one 2nd dose.

Uhtred Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 There are a number of NHS Apps in the Apple App Store. Is the relevant one that which is labelled ‘Access NHS Services in England’? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 It says the NHS app is "not available in your country" on the store. I've seen this before with bbc I player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
