๐Ÿ“ฑ Do you have NHS App notifications turned on?

Weโ€™re supporting an NHS England campaign to help cut the cost of SMS messaging โ€” and you can help!

Many of us like getting updates straight to our phones, but did you know that every text message costs the NHS money? If you use the NHS App (and if you donโ€™t yet, itโ€™s well worth a try!), make sure youโ€™ve got notifications switched on. Youโ€™ll still get all the important messages โ€” but at no cost to the NHS.

โœ… Just tap the person icon (top right) in the app
โœ… Scroll to Notifications
โœ… And switch them on
