Clare Road Medical Centre using a SMS messaging service to send appointment reminders and other messages to our patients.
This quick and convenient option is available to you if you have provided us with your mobile phone number and you are 16 or over.
On average we have about 20 lost appointments every week where patients do not turn up and do not cancel. That is the equivalent of two morning surgeries.
We realise that it can be easy to forget an appointment so why don`t you make use of our free, automatic text reminder service. This will send a text to your mobile about 24 hours before your appointment reminding you
Please make sure that we have your up-to-date mobile number and inform us if your number changes.
If you would like to opt out of any future contact via text messaging, then please contact reception staff.

We encourage our patients to take an active role in helping to manage their own conditions, but it is helpful to come for a review once a year.

This review process is important and we will not be able to continue prescribing repeat medications without it.
