Sligo University Hospital (SUH) has launched a two-way SMS text messaging reminder service for patients who have outpatient appointments at the hospital. The new service will enhance patient engagement and reduce missed appointments by engaging with patients via text, allowing them cancel appointments/ reschedule directly.
The relocation of certain Outpatient Department (OPD) services from University Hospital Galway (UHG) to Merlin Park will commence next week on Monday, 10 February. Some patients will from the 10th February have their outpatient clinic appointment in Merlin Park instead of UHG and this will be clearly stated on their appointment letter or the text message they receive.
