Self Booking Text Message Links
We often text our patients to invite them to book themselves into appointments such as blood tests, smear clinics and long-term care reviews. Patients can directly book an appointment by following the link in the text. This is done to save patients time and avoid having to call the practice.
We are planning on increasing the number of appointments that are available to book online via the NHS App. However, to manage demand and ensure that appointments are booked correctly and patients who need appointments get them, we are currently managing all GP appointments through our care coordinators.
