DRS. KENNY, MOYNIHAN & SCOTT
CONSENT TO CONTACT YOU BY SMS TEXT MESSAGES
We want to communicate with our patients in the most effective way possible. In the near future we will be introducing SMS text messaging as an additional method of contact. This allows the doctors and other staff in the practice to send a message to you directly from our clinical system with a copy of the message automatically being saved in your medical record. This will allow outgoing messages only.
In order to ensure we comply with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) we are asking for your written consent for us to contact you by SMS text message.
If you consent please remember that it is your responsibility to keep your phone secure and control access to your SMS text messages.
- Keep in mind that an unlocked mobile phone means that others could have access to your information. FOR SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION IT IS ADVISED TO HAVE YOUR PHONE LOCKED WITH A PASSCODE, PIN CODE, FINGERPRINT or other security measure.
-
- Remember it is important to keep us updated of any changes to your mobile number including: the phone being passed on, sold or stolen, to ensure the security of any information we may be forwarding to your number.
-
- Please be aware of your text message settings – keep in mind that messages may appear as a notification on your lock screen or on a linked device such as a PC or tablet.
