Consent to SMS

I consent to the practice contacting me by text message, email and voicemail (using my landline) for the purposes of appointment reminders, results, action needed following test results, referrals, health promotion, Non-NHS work, medication and practice updates.

I acknowledge that text messages, emails and voicemails are an additional service and that they may not be sent on all occasions. The responsibility for attending appointments and cancelling them as well as contacting the practice to obtain the results of recent tests still rests with me. I can cancel the text message and/or email 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.

Emails and voicemail will also be generated using a secure facility but I understand that they are transmitted over a public network onto a personal email accounts or landlines and as such may not be secure. We will only send the minimum amount of personal identifiable information needed to convey the message.

If you have consented to this method of communication, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
