Your Summary Care Record contains important information from the record held by your GP practice and includes details of any medicines you are taking, any allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines that you have previously experienced. Healthcare staff will have access to this information, so that they can provide safer care, whenever or wherever you need it, anywhere in England.

Your Summary Care Record also includes your name, address, date of birth and your unique NHS Number to help identify you correctly. As part of a mandatory national programme each GP Practice had to make a summary care record for each patient by March 2015 (unless the patient has already opted out).

You can choose to opt out of this scheme at any time. If you wish to opt out of the Summary Care Record scheme please complete our opt-out form.
