SMS messages are sent for a variety of health management purposes. These may include:
-
Appointment reminders–a reminder message will be sent the day prior to your appointment.
-
Health reminders — e.g., cervical screening/ care plans etc.
-
Health recalls ( e.g., follow up of test results).
-
Electronic prescriptions if you agree to use this option.
Please advise the practice of any change in your mobile number to ensure that the messages are sent to the correct number. Patients must also be aware that if another person can access their mobile phone then the confidentiality of these communications cannot be protected by the practice.
