New GP registration service messaging feature
The register with a GP surgery service has added a new feature that can send a message to patients, confirming when the practice accepts their registration. This feature has been tested with 96 practices and is available to all patients transferring from another GP practice. Patients will receive notifications through the NHS App, email, text message, or post if they cannot be reached digitally. Practices already enrolled (currently 1 in 4 in England) can turn this feature on or off in NHS Profile Manager. New practices signing up will automatically have access to this new feature.
