FRIENDS OF NEWHALL SURGERY FORUM:

The group was set up in May 2011 and so far we have had 4 meetings which are made up of patients and a selection of Newhall Surgery staff.  The group is run by patients for patients and the aims are to give patients a voice, to help towards improving services to benefit everyone, to promote health and wellbeing, conduct patient surveys and fundraising, to name just a few.

Noticeboard

SMS texting service roll out. The surgery is pleased to announce an enhancement to its existing text service. As some of you may be aware the surgery has been texting a reminder to patients regarding GP appointments for over a year. This service was well received, however the messages were basic. The surgery now has access to an enhanced system which will text patients a confirmation of an appointment when it has been made, then the day before the appointment the system will send a reminder including the time and date of the appointment. You will now be reminded about appointments not only for the GPs but also Nurses and for blood tests. The system will be further enhanced when regular blood test results will be texted to you. The feedback from the new service has been very positive.

If you do not wish your mobile phone number to be used for this purpose please contact the surgery and we can update our records.
