A national system that takes information from patient’s GP record and makes it available to clinicians anywhere in the country.

The core SCR record is limited to medication and allergies however patients who are frail or have complex health needs may wish to provide consent for additional SCR data release, which adds additional information and supporting free text onto their core Summary Care Record, including significant medical history, reason for medication and end of life care information, please discuss with your GP if you would like this consent recorded on your record.

If you have registered for online services with a minimum of Core Record access, you will be able to check what is accessible on your core SCR record.

If you do not want your data available within the SCR, please complete a Summary Care Record Opt Out form. You can complete this form on behalf of another patient. Forms completed on behalf of children under the age of 16 will be reviewed by the GP who may wish to discuss the decision further with you and who ultimately may over-ride a parent/carer’s wishes if the decision is deemed to be not in the child’s best interests.
