A Summary Care Record (SCR) is a national database that holds electronic records of important patient information such as current medication, allergies, and details of any previous bad reactions to medication.
It is created from your GP medical record; whenever the record is updated, changes are synchronised to the SCR.
This service is for authorised clinicians, health, and social care workers and/or administrators, in any health or care setting based in England, who need to access a patient’s information to support their direct care.
If you are considering registering to the Practice, an opportunity to opt-in or opt-out of this service is available on our registration forms. If you are already registered with the Practice and are unsure of your SCR status, you may opt-in or opt-out of the service using this form.
If you would like to read more about the SCR, its benefits, and who may have access to your records, please find further information on the NHS Digital website.
