<\/a><\/p>\n All new patients requesting access to the Patient Online Service will be asked if they would like access to their full record.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There is a new Central NHS Computer System called the Summary Care Record (SCR). It is an electronic record which contains information about the medicines you take, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had.<\/p>\n Storing information in one place makes it easier for healthcare staff to treat you in an emergency, or when your GP practice is closed.<\/p>\n This information could make a difference to how a doctor decides to care for you, for example which medicines they choose to prescribe for you.<\/p>\n Only healthcare staff involved in your care can see your Summary Care Record.<\/p>\n Over half of the population of\u00a0England now have a Summary Care Record. You can find out whether Summary Care Records have come to your area by looking at our\u00a0interactive map<\/a>\u00a0or by asking your GP<\/p>\n No, it is not compulsory. If you choose to opt out of the scheme, then you will need to complete a form and bring it along to the surgery. You can find a copy of the form here: SCR Opt Out Form<\/a><\/p>\nSummary Care Record<\/h3>\n
