A communications device configured to transmit data to a wireless communications network, the communications device comprising transmitter circuitry configured to transmit signals via a wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network, receiver circuitry configured to receive signals via the wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network, and controller circuitry configured in combination with the transmitter circuitry and the receiver circuitry to receive a plurality of configurations for transmitting uplink data in grant free resources, to process first uplink data and second uplink data for transmission on the grant free resources of a physical uplink shared channel of a wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network, the grant free resources providing communications resources in each of a plurality of time divided units of the wireless access interface for transmitting the first uplink data and the second uplink data, the first uplink data being processed for transmission in the grant free resources according to a first configuration of the plurality of configurations, and the second uplink data being processed for transmission in the grant free resources according to a second configuration of the plurality of configurations, to determine that a transmission according to the second configuration has a relative priority which is higher than transmission according to the first configuration when the transmission of the second uplink data causes a collision with the transmission of the first uplink data, to schedule the transmission of the second uplink data according to the second configuration in preference to the transmission of the first uplink data in accordance with the relative priority between the first configuration and the second configuration, and to transmit the second uplink data in the grant free resources according to the second configuration, wherein the first configuration includes a transmission period for transmitting one or more transport blocks of the first uplink data in the grant free resources, and a starting position of the transmission period of the first uplink data in one of the time divided units of the wireless access interface for transmitting the second uplink data in the grant free resources, and the second configuration includes a transmission period for transmitting one or more transport blocks of the second uplink data in the grant free resources, and a starting position of the transmission period of the second uplink data in one of the time divided units of the wireless access interface for transmitting the second uplink data in the grant free resources. transmitter circuitry configured
