Summary Care Record

Informed Patient Consent – Summary Care Records

OOverview of SCR ~ (Summary Care Record)

Summary Care Records (SCRs) are an electronic record of key information from a patient’s GP practice. Over 96% of people registered with a GP practice in England (55 million people) now have a Summary Care Record. The benefits include improvements in patient safety and experience and in the efficiency and effectiveness of patient care.

SCRs are viewed in a wide variety of care settings including:

Acute Trusts (both unscheduled and scheduled care)
GP Practices
GP Out of Hours services
Walk in Centres
Urgent Treatment Centres
Minor Injury Units
Mental Health
Community Pharmacy
Custody Suites
Prisons
Hospices

Community Care

SCRs contain the ‘core’ dataset of medication, allergies and adverse reactions.

SCR’s are optional but the national opt out rate remains low at 1.4% and a patient can change their mind at any time simply by contacting their GP practice.

Patients can also choose whether they wish to share the core data in the SCR only or whether they wish to have an enriched SCR i.e. include important additional information from their GP record.

We can now offer you an Enriched SCR

Benefits of ENRICHED SCR’s

Increased patient safety by providing timely access to information such as significant diagnoses, significant medical history past and present, patient preferences for resuscitation, power of attorney, communication preferences, end of life care information

The patient can choose to add more information if they feel it is necessary
Empowers the patient as they can make preferences known
Increased efficiency in treating a patient anywhere in the world at any time of day
The Enriched information is quickly available to healthcare staff who already routinely access SCR’s
Results of Tests, x-rays or procedures done at one hospital can be accessed by the clinicians at other healthcare facilities to improve your care

Please let us know your preference by letter – verbally – Patient access messages or by email to sls.admin@nhs.net
