How do I access my outpatient appointment invitation?
When you receive an SMS from the hospital inviting you to use the patient portal, it will appear as shown.
If you do not wish to receive any further digital communications from ULHT, please contact the number on your letter and a member of staff would be happy to opt you out from receiving any further text messages from ULHT. For all future appointments you would then receive a paper copy of your appointment letter in the post.
If you do not interact with the link within the SMS, a letter will be sent to you in the post after 48 hours of the text message being delivered.
