As part of our continued work to improve outpatient services and ensure appointments run as smoothly as possible, we have introduced patient check-in kiosks.
How to use the check-in kiosks
This is a short film on how to check-in to your appointment using a kiosk.
You can also check-in via your mobile phone. Details on how to do this is included further down the page.
To check-in by kiosk
- Please check-in by kiosk no earlier than 60 minutes before your appointment, unless your letter says otherwise.
- Use the hand sanitiser provided, before and after using the kiosks.
- Touch the kiosk screen to begin and follow the onscreen instructions.
- You can enter your details manually.
- You will be asked to check your details are accurate, such as address and GP name.
- You will be directed to take a seat in a suitable waiting room.
- When the clinical staff are ready to see you, your name will appear on the patient calling screens within the outpatient department relevant to you.
