Digital questionnaire 

Some services may send you a digital questionnaire before or after your appointment. If you have notifications switched on within the NHS App, you will receive an alert when a new questionnaire becomes available. If you do not have NHS App notifications enabled, we will send you a text message (from 07860039092) or an email (from no-reply@drdoctor.co.uk) with a secure link to complete your questionnaire via the DrDoctor patient portal.

If we contact you, please complete your questionnaire, answering all the questions you can. Your responses give us feedback on your progress and help us to manage and improve our services. We use digital questionnaires to better understand your health before and after your appointments.

These questionnaires ask about your symptoms, physical health and quality of life. Completing them ahead of time helps us prepare for your appointment and monitor your progress.
