Covid19 update
The team at Dr Yerra's GP practice are currently experiencing a high volume of calls from people who need urgent help and advice. The high rates of community transmission of the Covid virus, coupled with the growing numbers of people being admitted to hospital, mean the whole of the NHS across the North West region is under pressure.
For this reason, it is taking us longer than we would like to respond to calls and we are having to ask people who have less urgent health needs to wait a bit longer for an appointment. We are continuing to prioritise urgent cases.
If your condition is not as urgent, we would ask that you look at the other options available for accessing NHS services e.g.
- Following self-care advice where you can from www.nhs.uk
- Using your local pharmacy for expert help and advice for every-day conditions
- Using online services where you can request repeat prescriptions via the NHS app or your practice patient online service
- Seeking support and advice from NHS 111 online to direct you to the best service for your needs if you’re not sure what to do.
- Thank you for your support and your patience.
- Prescription requests- Did you know that you can now order your prescriptions via email? Please email your prescription requests to;
gpccg.prescriptionsdrjhassurgery@nhs.net.
- Please allow 48 hours for prescription requests.
- Data Opt Out - Opting out of patient data sharing anyone over the age of 13 can do this act now if you want your and your children(s) names to be removed from NHS Data Sharing with third parties.
- There are two aspects of the process, you need to complete both, i.e. *NHS Hospital Data & GP Surgery Data.*
- Please follow the links below to complete both process.
- *1. NHS Hospital & Treatment Data - ONLINE*

Accesing your Covid 19 status-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.

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.
