Bye Bye text messages and Hello to the NHS app/PATCHS

This is no April fools!

April marks the huge reduction in text messaging to patients. Why?  Our allocation of free text messages has now been capped. Due to a rise in costs, we have alternative pathways of communication.

You will now receive messages form the surgery through the NHS app/PATCHS service.

If you haven’t already, please download the NHS app and ensure your notifications are switched on. You can do this by
