SMS Text Reminder Service

Since 2017, we have been sending patients Text Message (SMS) reminders for appointments – we are able to do this if we hold a valid mobile number for you.

Text reminders are sent for GP and Practice Nurse appointments, and also for some routine care such as flu vaccinations.

If we have a valid mobile number for you we will send you a free text message to remind you when you have an appointment with us.  This is a convenient service for you and a way for us to reduce the number of missed appointments in the practice.

If you would prefer not have receive texts for appointment reminders please let us know and you can opt-out. We are unable to offer this service to patients under 16.

If you would like this service please complete one of the forms at Reception or download the form here and hand to Reception.
