The NHS is struggling under ever increasing costs. One of these costs which continues to escalate is that of SMS messaging. We use these important messages to contact you about appointments, results and for many other reasons. However, every text message we send comes at a cost!
---
But there is an alternative! By clicking on this link and downloading the NHS app, this allows us to contact you via the app instead which is FREE:

----
If you already have the app, please ensure you turn on notifications as otherwise the messages will automatically revert back to SMS which will cost the NHS money.
---
This is just one simple step you can take towards supporting your NHS and Westbourne Medical Group.

Thank you for your support.
