Thanks for advise.

My NHS number was AYPD 385, but on more recent correspondence, I seem to have been given a ten-digit..

Yes i remember my old medical card number easily but the newer 10 digit one has to be written down

It's a 10 digit one now ...

It can also be found at the top of any NHS paper prescription.

Mine`s always been the same since I was born in 1951!! and it`s 10 digit. And yes that`s the one at ..

I was born in 1951 and my no was MATL-391. Given a new no 2/03/12. Hunted this all out this morning.

Surely if your registered with a doctor, it should be on your medical records

Thank you - it's a pity with all the scams around that the envelope isn't more clearly identifiable ..

OK-perhaps I just wasn`t aware of my original NHS number until after it changed. I maybe getting it ..

Phone your GP, they will have it.

@Mi... - and hang on for 30 minutes, as I did last week?!

It will be on your NHS card.

@An... well, that's Facebook for you (sorry - but it's full of c**p). Your GP will send you an invita..

@Ha... yes and the letter my friend got had his National health number printed on it 😂

For those who believed that (from one who, by habit, questions everything) I'll post the warning fro..

My friend didn't get a letter or text - just a phone call ' come tomorrow'

@Bo... Some people have been called in, on the day, when spare doses are available. (Please read my ..

@Ha... I can’t imagine a scenario where anyone pretends to be someone else to get the vaccine. How wou..

@Se... think you had better check every day from now on, just in case

@Se... My 3 sons also got one at the same time, so yes it's done in a block

@An... but surely the appointments aren’t sent on block. Everyone gets a different time , don’t they?..

I would think the timing will happen when you're contacted?

Sounds like the same muddle we`re all accustomed to!

@Ro... I would think so and maybe different GPs will do it differently anyway. I think this message..

@An... Yes I know GP surgeries are saying “please do not contact us about the vaccine at the present ..

I'm sure that NHS text system is either done like a mailmerge or automated via the patient database ..

Some surgeries use email! I order a repeat prescription by email and they confirm it by email.

I have to order my repeat prescription by an app now which refused to accept the chemist I wanted ev..

My chemist does not deliver and nor does my friends one even though she is disabled.
