NHS app vaccine records

Nannashirlz

Growstuff you can request your GP shows them it’s your right. I see all my records.

Done that. I even complained to the practice manager. They say they won't put them online and I can't get my test results online, which is annoying. I have to ring up and then go into the surgery for a paper copy.

Growstuff GPs are now required to give patients online access to their records, if they are failing to do so, then they are in breach of their contract. www.themdu.com/guidance-and-advice/guides/online-access-to-records

I would suggest that you put in a formal request to your GP surgery, with a copy to the Local Medical Committee, and if they ignore that, your MP.

PatientAccess on my computer does the same thing Whiff, apart from having any record of my vaccination. No online pharmacy will deliver my meds because my GP isn't signed up for the service (I've tried), but I can order my repeats online. Having the app would make no difference.

Then bully your GP!

I've tried bullying (after asking nicely), but it didn't work.

I put in a formal request and I've complained to PALS. They still won't.

There will somebody who comes along and says I'm imagining it and that GPs are perfect. I don't know how they get away with being so dreadful, but they do. Unfortunately, there is no alternative in this town.

NannyC2 that's nonsense. Why you anyone but silly enough to believe that. We are all born with common sense use it. I am sick to dead of all these stupid things that get posted.

Vaccine save lives . Look all the things we don't have to worry about catching because if vaccines.

Indeed. I too am sick of the crap on twitter etc. I can't understand how some people believe it.

NannyC2 it will be the Bill Gates microchip they inject - it has a particularly strong magnet

The vaccine information is also available on our GP website...

growstuff The school curriculum should have a course in "Thinking". It could be presented as a series of "Puzzles to unravel", or "Ethical dilemmas", or "Digging for the truth", or whatever differentiates it from the authoritarian "These are the rules", and the populist "Everyone is saying that . . "

Aristotle advocated it ( and practiced it) many centuries ago.

Gish how many hundreds of years old are you?

Aristotle's classes were restricted to young men, greenlady so I can't claim to have attended, and anyway I am not quite old enough. Getting older every day, though.

I think everyone should learn Philosophy, particularly logic, at school and actually both my kids were (age 33 and 30, educated in Preston). My son went on the take a Philosophy degree and is now a doctor. It taught them to think rationally and it protects them from these absurd theories that come up on social media. (Neither of them are on it, they’ve got more sense).

Yes, good one, Callistemon!

Well, I guess the video I watched showing 11 people having a magnet stick to the area they were jabbed is somehow fake?

Some chap took 11 examples and compiled them together to find out if anyone else had experienced this happening. Magnets are placed on other areas and they just drop off but when they place the magnet on the exact spot it sticks without being held there!!
I could send you the video but don't know whether I am allowed because of guidelines?
Any idea how they could fake it? Would appreciate your thoughts on why?

Sadly the app isn’t compatible with my iPhone ( 6). I cannot be the only one who doesn’t believe in upgrading when a phone is perfectly fine...

Only available in England

Anything can be faked these days, NannyC2!

Yes, the video was certainly a fake.

I can think of loads of ways you could fake such a video - put a dab of clear glue on the spot, for example.

If you can fake a video once, you can fake it 11 times, or 11000 times for that matter. Don’t believe all you see on YouTube. In fact, don’t believe most of it.

Why? Because some people are hooked by conspiracy theories, and once you get hooked, the ‘evidence’ has to prove the conspiracy. The same people ‘prove’ the Earth is flat, that Donald Trump is the second coming of Christ, and that a mysterious person called QAnon is master of the universe. It’s all total b****cks.

Can you tell me if it is true that if you place a magnet on the spot where you have been jabbed that it sticks? Perhaps someone was just joking with me - I hope so!

Absolutely true. Very useful if you get locked out and need to get in via the catflap. Oh and you can also tune yourself to Radio 4.

My daughter put the NHS app on for me today. It's great shows when I had my vaccines, what I am allergic to, list of medications and best of all I can order my tablets with having to take in a prescription. Showed me how to do it brilliant.

Thank you so much Whiff. Really useful information.

Sar53, you may find he can get it through the system using the video, I had a similar problem, old goatee, new full beard, but it took it eventually on the video - I think they are checked by a human rather than a computer

Thanks for your responses.
Sorry for the delay - it was such a beautiful afternoon I sat in the garden for a while after doing some weeding!

Well is snowing (hailing) in London and massive black thunderstorms in east anglia so you’re the lucky one NannyC2

There seems a few NHS apps is it the one that has a blue background and blue NHS on a white band ?

Just checked. The NHS app won't install on my phone anyway, so a different way of proving vaccination will have to be found for those of us with old phones.

I don’t think this is available in Scotland. I asked at the vaccination centre how I would be able to prove I’ve been done (not that I’m planning on going anywhere but I like to be prepared). Currently there is no plan, the only way is by phoning your GP to get aletter from them. I’m sure the surgeries will be very happy to be inundated by folk wanting letters so they can travel.

Surgeries seem to be v behind the times where I am. To get registered as an ‘e-patient’ at my surgery involves trawling their website for a form hidden away deep in the small print. You then need to print that out and fill it in, then scan it along with photo ID and either email it to the surgery, on an email address also hidden away, and then wait a couple of months before anyone responses.

Alternatively, you can take the form to the surgery, along with photo ID, although as no one is admitted to the surgery premises now without an appointment, I am not sure how that works. It’s ridiculous, really. The older partners have all retired and most are now under 50yo so you would have thought they’d all be IT savvy but they’re still in the dark ages, it seems.

Please, please do not phone your surgery for a paper copy, you will get very short shrift! Ring 119 and they will supply you with one.
