Digital health assessments
Birmingham Community Healthcare is trialling a new system of digital health assessments. Patients on a waiting list for one of our clinical services may receive a text message asking them to complete a short health survey so that a healthcare professional can assess whether or not they still need an appointment..
This is part of a trial of a new system for managing our waiting lists more efficiently.
Anyone who receives a message from +447860039092 can be assured that this is a trusted mobile number and may safely open the message, click on links in it and answer any questions asked, with our thanks - they will be playing a valued part in helping us provide a better service for all our patients.
