Your Mobile Phone Number & Email Address

We would like to keep you informed and need your mobile number and email address and are currently collecting these from our patients.

This information would be helpful for several reasons - for example, we can remind you of a surgery appointment you might have made, we can also send out reminders for periodic medical reviews that might be due.

We would be grateful if you could provide the surgery with this information the next time you visit us. You can click on this link to download the pdf form. Complete the form and sign it and drop it in the next time you come in to the surgery.
