Dear Practice Manager,

Re: Communication Preferences and Data Protection Notice

I am writing to formally notify you that my mobile telephone and/or landline number is registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) for the purpose of preventing unsolicited communications.

I hereby request that:

1. You immediately cease sending any unsolicited text messages or making unsolicited telephone calls to my registered mobile number.

2. You update my patient records to clearly reflect these communication preferences.

3. You only contact me by telephone or text message for essential medical purposes, such as appointment confirmations or urgent medical matters that I have explicitly consented to.

Please note that continued unsolicited communications would constitute a breach of:

- The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR)

- Data Protection Act 2018

- UK GDPR requirements

Should these breaches continue, I will have no choice but to:

1. File a formal complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

2. Seek appropriate legal remedies, including potential claims for damages under common law for any resulting harm or loss.

I trust you will respect this request and update your records accordingly. Please confirm receipt of this letter and the actions you have taken to implement these requirements.

Yours faithfully,

[Your Full Name]
[NHS Number if known]
