NHS dentist alerts the moment a surgery opens its list.
Build a watchlist of up to 25 NHS surgeries near you. We email the second any of them flip from "not accepting" to "accepting". Daily NHS sync and patient reports keep the data fresh.
How alerts work
Find surgeries near you
Enter your postcode. Tick up to 25 surgeries you'd realistically travel to.
Drop your email
One address, all your watched surgeries. No password, no signup, unsubscribe in one click.
We do the watching
Daily NHS data sync + patient reports. Status changes are emailed to you within hours.
Alerts on WhatsApp
You can get the alert on WhatsApp instead of email. Open the page of any NHS practice on this site and tap Or get the alert on WhatsApp. WhatsApp opens with a short message ready; send it, and we will message you there when that practice starts taking new NHS patients. Do the same for each practice you want to follow, and reply STOP at any time to end the alerts.
Not sure which practice? Send your postcode to Sorty, our automated assistant, and it lists the nearest NHS practices and whether they are taking patients.
Message Sorty on WhatsAppExactly how it works
- Geography you can track
- Any combination of up to 25 surgeries across England. You pick them by ticking them from a postcode search, not by a radius, so you can mix close-by and slightly further afield.
- Patient types you can filter for
- Adults, children, or both. Set per-watchlist, not per-surgery. We email when any matching status change is seen.
- How quickly you'll hear
- Within hours of the NHS data refresh, not minutes: this is email, not push. Our quick partial sync polls the NHS feed every 2 hours; if a status flips at 09:00, the email goes out 09:00–11:00 most days.
- What we never do
- Send SMS (no number kept on file), call you, share your email, or charge a card. The alert system has no payment integration at all.
- Unsubscribe
- Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link that removes you from the entire watchlist. There is no "pause", no "are you sure" flow, no "why are you leaving" survey. You click, you're out.
- What we keep
- Your email + the IDs of the surgeries you watch. Nothing else. No name, no postcode of residence (only the postcodes you searched for, not where you live).
Why this beats ringing round
- Surgeries open and close their NHS lists multiple times a year, often without updating their own websites.
- The NHS "Find a Dentist" tool flags "accepting" based on a self-report some surgeries haven't refreshed in over a year.
- Ringing 20 places every week is not realistic. Our nightly NHS sync + 12×/day partial sync makes that work happen in the background.
What you'll receive
One short email per status change. The email tells you:
- Which surgery just opened up
- Whether they take adults, children, or both
- The phone number to ring (fast, because popular surgeries can fill within hours)
- A one-click unsubscribe link
How much does it cost?
Free. The service is free for patients and we do not plan to charge for it. The site is funded by display advertising; ads never affect which surgeries appear in alerts.
