👉A screen masking function for a customised tine of the letter on screen
👉A picture dictionary with symbols, like a clock, for dementia patients.

👉Links to resources, providing more information about the appointment or procedure.
The text message service will be complimented by more traditional communications methods, ensuring no patient is excluded.
