Self Funded Surgery Connect

A lo-call rate number, such as 0844, can fund the Surgery Connect service, though with public disquiet over the use of 08 numbers within the Health Industry, and the threat of legislation to prevent the use of these numbers in this context, the 03 local call rate range of numbers should also be considered.

Try Surgery Connect with No Obligation

"Highly convenient, time saving, and makes communication simple between hospital and patients and their families at home. Families respond to it readily as most people are very familiar with texting these days. I would highly recommend it to other health care professionals. We hope to be able to improve our communication particularly with teenagers by using this system."
