A quicker way to receive hospital appointment letters
Barts Health are improving the way we receive our appointment letters from Newham General and other Barts Health hospitals.
From Friday 13 February, Barts are changing how they send outpatient appointment letters to make it faster and easier for patients to access their information.
Instead of receiving most appointment letters by post, patients will now:
- Receive a text message when their appointment letter is ready
- Follow a secure link to view their full appointment letter in the NHS app
- This means you’ll be able to see all the information from your appointment letter online, rather than waiting for it to arrive by post.
