Hospitals, Dentists and Doctors Surgeries

SMS marketing is being adopted by more and more surgeries as a way of improving communication between medical practitioner and patient. Information can be sent to a patient within seconds and, because mobile phones tend to be carried on the person, they will be read with minimal delay. SMS marketing is easy to set up and very cost-effective, working out at a fraction of the cost of a phone call.

Appointment Reminders
Missed appointments cost a lot of money. A letter or phone reminder is not only expensive but also time consuming. Using our online SMS service, in minutes, you can set up a whole weeks reminders to go out a day or two before each appointment is due. If you include a phone number in the message, then people can cancel their appointment and thereby allow you to fill it with another patient.

Check Ups
Text messages are also a cost-effective way of reminding people to make an appointment. This is especially true in a dental practice, where check ups are usually recommended once every six months. SMS provides a useful service, too, for letting patients know when relevant clinics are being held.

Inoculations
GPs may also choose to send a text message to parents to remind them of inoculations required for their children or to older patients for flu inoculations.
