Hospital waiting times are outside of our control

Dear Patients, We have noticed an increasing number of patients requesting GP letters to expedite appointments due to extended waiting times at hospitals. We understand the frustration caused by waiting times for outpatient appointments. This is outside of our control and is the making of a struggling NHS with an imbalance of demand and capacity

I consent to the practice contacting me by text message or email for the purposes of health promotion, practice news and for appointment reminders.

I acknowledge that appointment reminders by text are an additional service and that they may not be sent on all occasions but that the responsibility for attending appointments or cancelling them still rests with me.

Text messages are generated using a secure facility but I understand that they are transmitted over a public network onto a personal telephone and as such may not be secure.

I understand I can cancel the text message facility at any time.
