Summary Care Record
Summary Care Records have been introduced in England as part of the NHS Care Records Service and these are available for healthcare professionals to access the most up-to-date information wherever in the country you need care.
All patients have a Summary Care Record created which contains information from your care record (current prescriptions, allergies, reactions to treatment) and any other information that you have agreed should be included.
You can decide not to have a Summary Care Record at all and if so you will need to complete an Opt Out Form which is available from Reception.
Further information and advice is available from the Patient Advice & Liaison Service (0800 587 9159).
