Health Awareness Messages

Increasing numbers of Healthcare providors across the country are using text messaging to improve attendance at surgery clinics such as Childhood Immunisation & Smoking Cessation, with excellent results.

Reports have shown that text messaging patients can vastly increase the response rate in comparison to traditional methods (such as postage and telephone campaigns) to 65%, and significantly reduce the time and costs normally associated with such campaigns.

With a direct impact on NHS financial resources and on public health, text messages can be sent free of charge if used alongside Connecting for Health’s (CfH) NHSmail service and our newest release of MJog even allows for patient replies to be received, with free messages, which is the first of its kind!

Using patient profiles to target specific groups or individuals, MJog’s Health Campaign Manager can be used to send health awareness messages for:

• Smoking Cessation
• Childhood Immunisation
• Chlamydia Screening
• Breast Screening
• Hypertension
• Obesity Checks
• Asthma
• Diabetes Patient Recalls
