SMS COMMUNICATION From November 2021 we will be introducing text message communication to patients.
The advantages of SMS over phone or letter communication are:
▫ Communication is instantaneous
▫ Reduces pressure on our telephone lines
▫ Lower environmental impact than letters
Information that may be sent by SMS:
▫ Important national updates (e.g Covid-19 updates)
▫ Practice updates (e.g clinician sickness etc.)
▫ Appointment alerts and recall reminders
▫ Results and follow-up information, where appropriate
▫ Relevant medicines information
▫ Website links as agreed with your clinician
What do I need to do?
▫ Make sure we have the correct mobile number for you on file
▫ Update us if you change your mobile number
▫ If you are concerned that we do not hold the correct mobile number for you file, you can email nhsh.gp55709-reception@nhs.scot or you can let a member of the team know when you are at the practice.
▫ Please note this is a one-way service, please do not reply to the SMS unless prompted, as your reply will not be sent back to us.
Can I opt out? ▫ Yes, email nhsh.gp55709-reception@nhs.scot or you can let a member of the team know when you are at the practice.
Text message limitations
▫ Appointment reminders by text are an additional service and they may not be sent on all occasions. The responsibility for attending appointments or cancelling them still rests with our patients.
▫ Text messages are generated using a secure facility but they are transmitted over a public network onto a personal telephone and as such may not be secure. However, the practice will not transmit any information which would enable an individual patient to be identified
