NHS arrangements for patients to opt-out of data sharing processes in relation to data held at the GP Practice have been updated. From end of March 2020 GP Practices will no longer be able to record patient opt out preferences.
In order for your Opt-Out choice to be effective under the new data sharing process, you will need to register your Opt-Out with the National Data Opt Out service. You can record your choice via the NHS website, or by phone (NHS Digital Contact Centre: 0300 303 5678) or post.
Details are available on the website: https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters.
