National Data Opt-Out

There have been posts on social media with false information about opting out of sharing your data with the NHS.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • There is no 30 September deadline for opting out of sharing your data. You can opt out at any time.
  • NHS Digital will never sell your data.
  • There are strict rules about how NHS can use your data. It’s only shared securely and safely.
  • Shared data helps the NHS. It has been used to find the first treatment for coronavirus and for vaccine research.

Visit www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters for more information.

If you wish to opt-out, please complete a Type 1 Opt-out Form and return it to the practice by 23rd June 2021
