If you have provided us with your mobile phone number, we will automatically send you text message reminders for your upcoming appointments.
Please ensure that the contact number we have for you is correct so that you receive these reminder messages.
You may also be occasionally contacted by text message to recommend treatment of a specific health issue.
- Please note that we are currently unable to send you text message reminders for appointments which have been booked on the GP HUB system and are at other GP surgeries.
- This contact is us providing appropriate care for you, the patient, and is not defined as ‘marketing’ in the data protection regulations 2018. If you do not wish to be contacted by text message, please let us know.
Non-urgent advice: 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 to opt out of any future contact via text messaging, then please let us know
