We have further expanded the use of text messages for patient communication, allowing patients to quickly and easily access electronic letters about their care. The electronic letters offer significantly increased benefits for patients through a range of functions including:

👉A translation service with 116 written and 55 read out loud language options
👉Larger text
👉A screen masking function for a customised tine of the letter on screen
👉A picture dictionary with symbols, like a clock, for dementia patients.
👉Enhanced information to help patients get to their appointments, including instructions on finding clinics and integration with Google Maps.
👉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.

We are pleased to announce that our practice list is opening and we will be welcoming new registrations from Monday 2nd June.

We will be using a new electronic registration process called MiHealth Portal. You will find the link on our website.

We will initially limit the number of registrations which can be made per week. This is to facilitate our administrative process only, as we expect initial registration applications to be high. We will review this in the coming weeks.

Once the capacity has been reached each week a pop up box will display the message 'The practice are not currently taking new registrations at this stage, apologies for any inconvenience.' Please try again the following week.

Our aim is that is everyone living in our boundary is welcome to register with us if they wish to do so, and we have no plans to close the list unless circumstances dictate otherwise in the future.
