@leighms@mastodonapp.uk @Silversnapples@mastodonapp.uk Hi Leigh, under "8. Can I opt my data out? If so, how?" the article gives this more straightforward link to both options: https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/about-the-nhs/opt-out-of-sharing-your-health-records/ But I highly recommend checking out the context in the article too rather than going straight there, since while I opted out in both ways myself some time ago, it might not be in everyone's interests to do so ✊🏼

@leighms@mastodonapp.uk @DarkOptimism@mstdn.social @Silversnapples@mastodonapp.uk this link is not up to date, at least in its guidance as to how you do it from the NHS App. "- through the NHS App by clicking on "Your Health" and selecting "Choose if data from your health records is shared for research and planning"" It's actually under your Profile (icon)>Personal Details: Health Choices>Health data sharing decision. And you'll still need to confirm your Name, DoB and NHS number.
