Text Scam Alerts - We have been made aware of a number of text scams circulating in the UK. We would like to let our patients know that we would never send you a text message with a link to click, a request to confirm your DOB or personal details via a link, or ask you to contact us via a number other than the main surgery telephone number. Please be extra vigilant and ensure any message is genuine before acting on it. We do not want our patients to be caught out by these frauds.


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.
