Changes to notifications from Manchester Hospitals

Starting at the end of April, MFT (Manchester Foundation Trust) will be moving to digital instead of paper letters for most outpatient appointments. Soon, patients will receive their appointment details through a text message link or via the MyMFT patient app. This digital rollout will begin in Ophthalmology Services across the Trust from Monday 28 April, and will later expand to all outpatient departments from June 2025.

Patients who wish to keep paper letters should raise this with MFT hospital reception staff, who will then be able to support with updating their communication.

As a MyMFT user, you can:

• View MFT appointment details
• Attend online video consultations
• Keep track of important test results, letters and health information in one place
• Save time by checking-in online and by providing key information ahead of appointments
• Use proxy access to oversee a family member or dependent’s healthcare (after receiving their consent to do so!).

Learn more about proxy access here.

If you would like to make a proxy access request for an under 16 year-old use this link.
