We get your data directly from your GP surgery. GP surgeries across the UK use a piece of software called eMR, which allows them to supply GDPR-compliant digitised patient information quickly and easily. The software was created by Medi2Data, an NHS Digital accredited supplier.
Medi2Data are also the creators of Lalu – which means the Lalu app connects seamlessly to your medical data at your local GP surgery, using the same eMR technology to pull it straight into your app.

Medi2data will contact your GP surgery and help them through the activation process – this typically takes less than 10 minutes. On the rare occasions we are unable to activate eMR at a GP surgery within 72 hours, you can request a refund. For further details on this, please see the Terms & Conditions available here.
Occasionally there might be a slight delay in accessing your data even if your surgery has eMR activated. There are a couple of reasons this could happen. You might have provided personal details within the Lalu+ app that do not match the data held by your GP surgery. Or more than one patient may be found with matching patient details. If this happens, the GP surgery will need to determine which patient the data refers to. But don’t worry, we’ll make sure any problems are fixed as quickly as possible.
Our data requests are submitted digitally under a Subject to Access Request. GP surgeries have a legal duty to respond to the request, and it too needs to be done digitally, as per the Information Commissioner’s Office guidelines.
Some events and venues may require you to confirm your vaccination status. This is currently voluntary for individual organisations, but is being encouraged – particularly where large groups of people will be in close proximity to other households. Your NHS-verified COVID-19 vaccination passport is built using standard QR technology, so any venue which uses standard QR readers will be given one-time access to a secure, image-identity passport of you and your vaccination data.
No! We don’t have an expiration date for the Lalu app, so you can move forward with confidence.
