I found this page to be very useful:

http://medconfidential.org/how-to-opt-out/

It has a form that you can download, fill in, print out and send to
your GP.

I came across that page after reading:

https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/2014/med-records-opt-out

It's a pretty good blog for this sort of stuff. Plug this into your rss
readers: https://www.openrightsgroup.org/feed.rss
