We have been using our texting services since 2016. When we first started we gave everyone the opportunity to opt out of receiving text messages if they wished. Subsequently it is made clear that anyone who registers with the practice and gives us their mobile phone number is giving consent for us to send them text messages, along with a clear message that they can opt out at any time.
We use text messages to remind you of appointments and to give you other relevant information related to your health. If you wish to opt out of receiving text messages please inform us and we will ensure you no longer receive them. You can always change your mind at a later date.
We may also send you messages inviting you to take part in clinical studies, you can separately opt out of receiving these at any time.
