QR Codes (9/11/11)
We are now starting to use QR Codes (abbreviated from Quick Response code) on our stationary and website.
QR codes are a quick way of transferring information to your mobile device.
A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of barcode that can store any sort of information but commonly contains data such as contact information, web addresses, emails and sms text.
The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background.
You need a camera phone and an appropriate application such as Qrafter.
Scanning the QR code puts the information directly on your phone for future use.
The bar code on the left will take you to a map showing where Builth Surgery is located.
See our location pages.
