1️⃣1️⃣ You can volunteer your time.

1️⃣2️⃣ And you can contribute to ✳️ consented research ✳️

1️⃣3️⃣ Allowing NHS Digital to take (you're ❇️ NOT ❇️ being asked) your GP record is ✳️ NOT ✳️the only way to help the NHS.

NHS Digital don't want you to find out, don't want you to exert your data autonomy.

But it’s your information.
And your control.

So read 📖, think 🤔, decide ✔️ ❌
