What is Patient Hub?
Patient Hub is a new online system where you will be able to access important information about your treatment and appointments on your mobile phone, tablet or computer.
Once fully launched, Patient Hub will provide:
- Updates on any referrals
- Details of hospital appointments – including how to confirm, reschedule or cancel
- Health questionnaires and surveys relating to your appointment, if required
- Digital copies of letters and patient leaflets with information and advice
Access Patient Hub
You won’t be able to log in to Patient Hub until you’ve received your first notification.
Why is it being introduced?
Patient Hub is being introduced in NHS Forth Valley to enhance patient communications and enable you to add appointments to any digital calendars. It will also reduce the use of paper and save on postage costs.
How will it work?
You’ll receive notifications via your mobile phone, email or landline when your referral has been accepted onto a waiting list.
Once your appointment has been scheduled, you’ll receive a message with a link asking you to log into the Patient Hub and view your appointment options.
Patients attending some outpatient clinics will also receive information via Patient Hub with details of how to confirm, reschedule, or cancel appointments online.
Patients with a registered mobile number or email will be contacted automatically so please provide your current contact phone and email details during your next hospital or GP visit.
