Up here ...The joy of the devolved administrations.<br /><br />Up here in Scotland there is currently no way to get such a "pass", so I simply took the option of ordering their printed letter. That being from the NHS Scotland page, all fairly painless given how we were sent vaccine invite letters with authentication details.<br /><br />However I wonder if and when I'll get to go abroad and need to use it.DFhttps://example.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-63160999106010676492021-08-28T23:18:37.579+01:002021-08-28T23:18:37.579+01:00It's shit.

And then I saw the 21 day expiry, which means given I want to print it to have a paper copy while I am on holiday I'd have to wait until the last week before to print it.<br /><br />So I took my mum's advice, she has no computer access. I rang 119 and selected for the covid pass service. It took 10 minutes in total for the call, and 4 days later my covid pass arrived in the post. These ones have no expiry date.<br /><br />On top of that, if you have a middle name it will never match the name in your passport. The covid pass system does not import middle names from the NHS databases so the passes never show it, but for entry to countries eg. France they say the name must match what is in your passport which typically does have your middle name. Many reports on Tripadvisor say anywhere in Europe this isn't a problem as they are used to middle names being absent. But several people have reported it being refused in Hong Kong where they are insisting on an absolute match for the name. And rightly so, why should one part of the world have to know the foibles of which parts of names are optional in some other culture from the other side of the world? I have checked with my GP and their records are correct, my NHS data does have my middle name.Owen Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890951742186614705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-81865944162653903032021-08-28T11:50:42.507+01:002021-08-28T11:50:42.507+01:00If you think that's bad wait until you see the...If you think that's bad wait until you see the NHSmail system for sending "secure" emails to patients. No surprise that everything to do with the NHS is poorly done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
