📢 Important Update: My Health and Wellbeing Patient Portal

The My Health and Wellbeing Patient Portal will close from 4th August 2026 while a new and improved patient portal is being developed. 💻

If you currently use the portal to view your hospital appointments or clinic letters, please be aware that from 4th August:

📌 You will no longer be able to access the current portal.
📌 Hospital appointment letters and clinic correspondence will be sent by post instead.
📌 You may also be contacted by telephone where needed.

✅ Your care will not be affected, and you will continue to receive important information about your appointments.

A brand-new patient portal is expected to launch this autumn, and we’ll share more information as soon as it’s available. 🍂

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 💙
