Hampshire Hospitals are using Waiting List Validation to check in with patients on our waiting lists.
Waiting List Validation allows us to improve communications with patients, using the Patient Hub service to ensure patients who have been referred to our waiting list still wish to remain on our waiting list.
From April 2023, you might receive a text or email notification inviting you to login to the Patient Hub portal. Some patients will be sent an SMS message and/or an e-mail from HHFT-NHS. The content of the message will include:
“You have a new notification concerning an outstanding referral…”

You are able to view all your referrals in one convenient location. In addition, it will provide everything you would normally receive in the post.
Do I need to download the Portal (Patient Hub) as an app from an app store?
No, there is no need to download anything. When the hospital sends you the first referral notification, they will send you a link. You can access the Portal at any time. For easy future access, you may want to save this link as a favourite. Each time you sign in, you will also be sent a new 6-digit security code. There is no need to remember a username and password.
Is the link always the same?
Yes, the link to your account will stay the same, so you can go back to any text message or email. Every time you are notified about a referral, you will get a reminder of the link.

What authentication does Patient Hub use?
Patient Hub is designed with security in mind, using two factor authentication. You begin the login process by giving us some personal information known to you – your mobile number or email address and your date of birth. To complete the log in process, you will be sent a 6-digit security code by text message, or by email. This code can only be used once. The next time you log in, you will get a new 6-digit code (please be aware, for security the code will expire after two minutes).
Do I need to remember a username and password?
No, you do not have a username or password.
Do I need to securely log in each time I access the Portal (Patient Hub)?
Yes, it is vital to keep your data secure. Login via a text message code is still very fast.
How will I get my referral information?
You will get a text message or email with a link. When you click through the Portal (Patient Hub) you’ll see the referral tab on the first page you see. Click on ‘Referrals’ to see information on your current referrals and their status
Do I need to enrol to get this service?
No, so long as we have a mobile number or email address registered with the hospital, the hospital will send you a text message or email. You’ll be able to choose how you are contacted (either via text message and/or email) so it is important that you make sure that we have your correct contact details.
How long do I have to respond to the text message or email?
The link to your Portal (Patient Hub) can be accessed at any time. When you log in you will be sent a secure authentication message to complete your log in. This secure code only lasts for two minutes.
How do I access my referrals if I have accidentally deleted the text message from my phone?
There is a link on the hospital website that directs you to the Portal (Patient Hub).
What if I don’t have a smart phone or computer?
The initial link needs either a smart phone, tablet, or a computer. If you do not have a smart phone, you can receive the link and authentication code in an email. If you don’t have a smart phone or computer, don’t worry, we will make contact in due course.
What happens if I cannot access my referral information?
