We are sending out texts asking for patients to update us with their smoking status and with links to sources of support
We would like to support and encourage any current smokers to stop, particularly in these times of Coronavirus. The healthier you are if or when you encounter any illness the better.
We understand people are quite rightly wary of unexpected texts
Our current message comes from CookhamMedC (older texts used to say GP Surgery) and the text is as follows
"I'd like you to complete some questions about your health habits via the link below so we can update your medical record, this will only take a minute to complete.
Thank you The Reception team
Please follow this link: florey.accurx.com (then some numbers and letters generate)
You'll need internet on your phone (or you can open the link on a computer). If you cannot open it, please contact us.
Cookham Medical Centre"
As these answers do file back to your notes it will want you to confirm ID
