From tomorrow we are in a pilot to send you messages via your NHS app rather than via a text.

If you use the NHS App please make sure you turn on notifications to get these.

Please see information on the link below, on how to turn notifications on for the NHS App:
https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/nhs-app-help-and-support/nhs-app-account-and-settings/managing-nhs-app-notifications/

And don’t worry - if you don’t have the NHS app, have notifications switched off, or if the message isn’t read within 60 minutes, it will send automatically by text.

For those without text, we email or call.

Obviously everything we can do at the moment to save precious NHS resource is key. So if you are happy using it, please do!
