Consent to SMS

As a practice, we are reviewing the way our patients receive information about their care. Your GP would like to be able to communicate with you by SMS text. Providing your consent for this will allow us to let you know of important updates of results, referrals, advice etc.

Voicemails are left only when the practice must get in touch with you.

Consent to SMS

Section

I consent to the practice contacting me by text message for the purposes of health promotion, practice news and for appointment reminders.

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.

If more than one person shares the use of the mobile phone number detailed below, we will need a consent form from each of those people.

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