| Study hypothesis | Failure to attend pre-arranged outpatient appointments represents a failed opportunity to engage those with mental health problems, and a waste of NHS resources. Text based prompts (such as reminder letters) have been proposed as a simple, easy to deliver and cost effective means of addressing this problem - and are recommended in the recent National Health Service Framework for mental health. To establish the effects of the National Service Framework recommended simple text based prompts on attendance of people due to be seen at psychiatric outpatients clinics in Leeds. |
