What is Accurx Batch Messaging?

Accurx Batch Messaging allows you to send the same text message to a group of patients at once. This means you can save time typing out individual texts if you're sending the same message to lots of patients.
​

Some of the features of Batch Messaging:

  • Text up an unlimited number of patients at once

  • Get structured responses from patients with Florey questionnaires (learn more about Florey here)

  • Choose from a large collection of SNOMED codes which will be automatically added to each patient's record on sending the batch text message

  • Attach documents to your text messages such as patient leaflets

  • 🌟 NEW 🌟 Invite a cohort of patients to book their own appointments directly in your appointment book (learn about Self-Book here)
    ​

Some of the things practices have found Batch Messaging useful for:

  • Sending out general practice announcements (such as to let patients know they still need to wear a mask to come into the surgery)

  • Advertising walk-in clinics for COVID vaccines

  • Collecting QOF data for Asthma and COPD annual reviews

  • Inviting patients to book their own Flu vaccine or Smear test (via Self-Book)

  • Gather information on smoking status, alcohol consumption and BMI from groups of patients (via Florey)

  • Get ethnicity information and blood pressure readings from groups of patients (for practices with access to Florey plus)
