Waiting list validation
Are you currently on a patient waiting list?
NHS Scotland is using a new text message service to ensure some of our patient waiting lists are up to date and that patients still need their appointments.
Patients who are on a waiting list for public dental services, new routine ultrasound scans or new routine MRIs will receive a text message from the NHS Scotland National Elective Coordination Unit (NECU) on mobile number 07860 039092 with a link to answer a couple of questions that will allow us to update our records.
