Text Messaging Reminders

We operate an automatic "Opt In" system so that patients receive Text Messages with up to date information about their appointments, Practice news and health care services that we offer. If you prefer, you can also register to receive information by text message on your phone regarding appointments and health care by completing and submitting this consent form. However, if you wish to opt out of this service please let us know in writing.

New Data Protection Regulations from May 2018 (GDPR)

Under the new data protection regulations introduced from 25th May 2018, 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 ot opt out of any future contact via text messaging, then please complete the form and indicate in the marked section.
