Just Say App Launced

by

Just Say app launched

Just Say is a new app created to improve access to health and wellbeing advice and services for young people aged 16-25 across Northumberland. It aims to help young people get advice and support to find their way to be happy, healthy, safe and independent whenever they need to at the earliest opportunity. The app brings together local information as well as signposting over 250 services for young people. Mental health support, financial support, relationship advice and more as well as games, daily positive messages and activities, goal setting and trophies for hitting milestones are all available via the app. The Just Say app was inspired by young people involved in a local youth project called SILX based in Blyth who have worked with us and Northumberland County Council to develop the app. It is available to download on the App store and Google Play.

How to access your COVID-19 vaccination status

How to access your COVID-19 vaccination 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. 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.
*** Do not contact your GP surgery about your COVID-19 vaccination status. GPs cannot provide letters showing your COVID-19 vaccination status.
