Did you know that by using the NHS app, you can help make sure every hospital appointment counts? Digital Notts is all about making healthcare easier and more efficient, and the NHS app is a big part of that.

We've noticed that a lot of appointments are being missed, which isn't great for anyone. But with the NHS app, you can easily cancel or reschedule appointments with just a few taps, making life simpler for you and helping out NHS staff too!

To reduce waiting times and make sure everyone gets the care they need. Download the NHS App today and let's make every appointment count. For more details on the app, click here: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/about-the-nhs-app/

Patients who are unable to attend or no longer need a hospital appointment are being urged to cancel or rearrange them as soon as possible to help NHS staff to ‘make every appointment count’.

We're working hard to reduce outpatient waiting lists, but figures show that more than 6,000 appointments were missed in a month.

This figure relates to appointments at the King’s Mill, Newark and Mansfield Community hospitals that patients either did not attend or cancelled at too short notice (less than 48 hours) to enable hospital staff to offer the appointment to another patient.

To combat the number of unattended appointments, the Trust is offering patients more telephone and video follow-up appointments, with as many as 4,005 telephone and 203 video appointments taking place in January.

The sooner a patient lets us know they cannot attend an appointment for whatever reason, the better our chances of being able to reschedule it quickly while offering the original time to another patient who needs it.

A Trust campaign will see patients receive appointment reminders by letter and text message, while those who have chosen to access appointment information via the NHS app will also receive smartphone notifications as further reminders.

To cancel or rearrange an appointment at any of our hospitals, please call the phone number on your appointment letter. You can also email us at sfh-tr.booking@nhs.net.
