Herself got a letter from the doctor telling her to book a annual blood test with the practice nurse, and giving her a URL to book it online.
And boy is it a silly URL given that most of the recipients are of a senior disposition...
URL
https://[DELETED].wales.nhs.uk/navigator/request-an-appointment-with-a-nurse-or-healthcare-assistant/
And yes, every character has to be typed correctly from the letter.

So when you spell it all correctly, you can book an appointment - once you've typed a small novella identifying yourself as you'd expect.

And to confirm, they send you an email.
Which contains a link you have to follow to read the message (which eventually turns out to be "we'll get back to you in the next couple of weeks or so").

But first, prove you are who you say you are by entering your DOB.

And this is where the yoof bit comes in ... the DOB year field starts with 2023. Yes, they expect 2 week olds to be computer literate. Laugh | :laugh:
