What are my choices (Opt-Out)?

You can choose whether your patient data is used in planning and research.

If you’re happy with your information being used you do not need to do anything.

If you would not like your information to be used, you can either opt out of the TVS SDE, or opt out more broadly using the National Data Opt-Out.

Your choice will not affect your care
