General Practice COVID-19 'At Risk Patients' data collection

GP Surgeries are automatically enrolled into this data collection process.

NHS Digital is collecting personal data from General Practices on an ongoing basis to identify patients registered at General Practices who may be more at risk of getting seriously ill with COVID-19, and who would be potentially eligible for treatment should they contract COVID-19.

The data collected will be analysed and linked with other data NHS Digital holds to identify a list of potentially eligible patients.
