Summary Care Records
As a practice we are part of the national NHS Care Record service which gives access to elements of patient records to other healthcare professionals. Consent from our patients is assumed unless you tell us otherwise.
What is the NHS Care Record?
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 medicines.
It is created from GP medical records - whenever a GP record is updated, the changes are synchronised to SCR.
It can be seen and used by authorised staff in other areas of the health and care system who are involved in the patient's direct care
What information is on the Summary Care Record
At a minimum, the SCR contains important information about:
- Current medication
- Allergies and details of any previous reactions to medicines
- The name, address, date of birth and NHS number of the patient
In addition, details of long-term conditions, significant medical history, or specific communications needs, is now included by default for patients with an SCR, unless they have previously told the NHS that they did not want this information to be shared.
Examples of use:
A GP was asked to triage an elderly patient late one evening. The patient had been diagnosed and had been prescribed medication earlier in the day.
The patient was concerned that they may be allergic to the medication.
The GP was able to access the patients SCR which highlighted that previous medication had made the patient nauseated and confused, and that she was allergic to penicillin.
However, as this was an SCR that included additional information, the GP was also able to establish that the patient had a complex medical history and had been prescribed the medication previously, without any apparent ill effect.
The GP was therefore able to successfully reassure the patient to continue with their medication.
