We have updated our kidneycareuk.org/coronavirus information in regards to a specific update for people in England who are eligible for the third dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, and how they will be contacted (1/5) 
A letter has been sent to all GP practices and NHS trusts in England and explains the actions that NHS organisations should take as part of the third dose roll out (2/5)
📢Hospital consultants have been asked to check which of their patients are eligible for a 3rd dose.
📢If the hospital has a vaccination hub onsite, it is recommended people are invited for the vaccination at the hospital site & the consultant should recommend the timing (3/5)
📢If the hospital has a vaccination hub onsite, it is recommended people are invited for the vaccination at the hospital site & the consultant should recommend the timing (3/5)
📢If the hospital doesn't have a vaccination hub, consultants are asked to write to GPs who can organise for the person to receive the vaccination via their local Primary Care Network (PCN) site. These are separate to the vaccination clinics that you access by calling 119 (4/5)
📢GPs have also been asked to check patient lists for people who are eligible for the 3rd dose & write to offer them a third dose via their PCN site. If the GP practice does not organise vaccinations, they should refer to the local NHS commissioning organisation (5/5)
Therefore, you may receive an invite either from your hospital consultant or your GP, depending on local arrangements. When we have more detail on how this will work in the devolved nations we will update our website information again accordingly: kidneycareuk.org/coronavirus
