We are pleased to announce the launch of our brand-new WhatsApp Channel, designed to help patients stay connected and informed more easily than ever before.
Why a WhatsApp Channel?
We know that many of our patients already use WhatsApp every day to stay in touch with friends, family, and local groups. By creating a dedicated channel, we can share important news, updates, and information directly with you in a way that’s simple, accessible, and convenient.
While we will continue to update our Facebook page and practice website, this new channel offers another way to reach you quickly and effectively. It’s especially useful for patients who don’t regularly check social media or email but want to make sure they never miss important information from the surgery.
How Does It Work?
- Confidential and Secure. Your phone number and contact details will remain private. Other subscribers to the channel will not be able to see your details, and you won’t see theirs.
- One-Way Updates. The channel is designed to be used for updates only. This means you won’t be able to reply to messages or contact the surgery through WhatsApp, helping us keep the channel clear, concise, and free of unnecessary messages. You will be able to use simple emojis and
- Timely Information – From changes to opening hours, seasonal health advice, flu jab clinics, and practice news, you’ll be among the first to know.
What Are the Benefits?
- Convenience. Updates delivered straight to your phone.
- Clarity. Quick, easy-to-read messages without the clutter.
- Updated. Knowing that you’re always up to date with what’s happening at the surgery.
We believe this will be a helpful new way of staying connected and ensuring that important information reaches you in good time.
