Patients in Nottinghamshire under the care of the radiology team at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Trust, are now able to access their appointment letters through the NHS App.
Users of the app, who have also registered with the Patients Know Best functionality, can choose to receive appointment letters digitally, with notifications delivered direct to patients’ smartphones. This includes details of new and changed appointments, and where appointments have been cancelled by patient or the hospital.
The switch-on of this function within radiology provides a faster way for patients to access key information where they prefer to receive this digitally, and puts users in charge of the information they access through the NHS App. Those patients who choose to receive letters in the traditional manner will still get appointment information sent to them through the post.
To register for the NHS App and Patients Know Best, patients should download the NHS App at www.nhs.uk/nhs-app and follow the simple registration steps. If you require more support, email sfh-tr.nottsnhsapp@nhs.net
