Summary Care Record

Summary Care Record (SCR)


Why do I need a Summary Care Record?

The SCR enables healthcare staff providing care for patients in an emergency and from anywhere in England to be made aware of any current medications or allergies the patient may suffer from. This information from every patient record is sent electronically up to the Spine in order for this to happen.



Who can see it?


Do I have to have one?

No, it is not compulsory.

If patients wish their information to be withheld from the SCR, they can "opt out". Please download the SCR Opt-out Form:  SCR Opt-Out Form or access
