If consented to, we will contact patients via text message for various reasons regarding the delivery of their care. This includes but is not limited to automated appointment reminders, gathering patient feedback, health promotion, notification of updates to our service and other clinical communication.

Under GDPR regulations, we will continue to contact patients via text messages regarding the delivery of care if they have provided consent to do so. If practices are sending messages about recommended treatment for the management of a specific health issue, then this is defined as providing appropriate care for patients, not marketing purposes. If you would like to opt out of any future contact via text messaging, then please complete the form and indicate in the marked section.

Consent

Please note that if you consent you agree to the following:

I acknowledge that appointment reminders by text are an additional service and that they may not be sent on all occasions but that the responsibility for attending appointments or cancelling them still rests with me. I can cancel the text message facility at any time.

Text messages are generated using a secure facility but I understand that they are transmitted over a public network onto a personal telephone and as such may not be secure, however the practice will not transmit any information which would enable an individual patient to be identified.
