Northumbria Healthcare launches WhatsApp channel for key updates

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has launched a WhatsApp channel, which will be used to provide key updates and information to patients and the public.

WhatsApp channels are a relatively new feature of the popular online messaging service, which allows people who have subscribed to receive updates from a particular organisation.

The channel will only be used to share key updates and important information with followers, such as:

  • Roadworks or other travel issues which may affect patients coming to our sites
  • Unforeseen events which impact our services, for example, telephone problems
  • Updates related to weather warnings or other incidents
  • Key public health updates or reminders

Anyone with a WhatsApp account can follow the new Northumbria Healthcare WhatsApp channel using this link - https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaLeod72UPBQJmxlH02g

Subscribing to our WhatsApp channel does not give us access to your phone number or any other details, and users can opt out at any time.

We will not be sharing all our news and other updates via our WhatsApp channel. Please continue to check our website – www.northumbria.nhs.uk and follow our other social media channels for this – linktr.ee/northumbrianhs
