Register your Type 1 Opt-Out Preference

The data held in your GP medical records is shared with other healthcare professionals for the purposes of your individual care. It is also shared with other organisations to support health and care planning and research.

If you do not want your personally identifiable patient data to be shared outside of your GP practice for purposes except your own care, you can register an opt-out with your GP practice. This is known as a Type 1 Opt-out.

You can use this form to:

  • register a Type 1 Opt-out, for yourself or for a dependent if you are the parent or legal guardian of the patient (to Opt-out)
  • withdraw an existing Type 1 Opt-out, for yourself or a dependent if you have changed your preference (Opt-in)

This decision will not affect individual care and you can change your choice at any time, using this form. This form, once completed, should be sent to your GP practice by email or post.
