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
Cervical Screening
Please see the poster with regards to our pharmacies who are struggling with the demand at the moment.
