You can access your COVID-19 vaccination status through the free NHS App from 17 May. You can access the app through mobile devices such as a smartphone or by tablet. Proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status will be shown within the NHS App. We recommend that you register with the app before booking international travel.

If you do not have access to a smartphone and know that the country you are travelling to requires COVID-19 vaccination status, you can call the NHS helpline on 119 (from 17 May) and ask for a letter to be posted to you. This must be at least 5 days after you’ve completed your course of the vaccine. We expect the letter to take up to 5 days to reach you.

Please do not contact your GP surgery about your COVID-19 vaccination status. We cannot provide letters showing your COVID-19 vaccination status.

Breast Screening Programme

Women in the Perranporth area aged between 50 and 70 will shortly be invited for breast screening.

We know that if breast cancer is detected early, treatment is more successful and there is a good chance of survival.

Locally, huge efforts have been made to safely restore the breast screening service which had previously been impacted by the pandemic.

As a practice, we strongly support breast screening programme and urge women to attend when invited.

If you are not in this age group but have noticed changes in your breast such as lumps, skin changes, a newly inverted nipple or nipple discharge [especially 1 sided], please make an appointment with one of our doctors.
