Summary Care Record


Summary Care Record

An electronic record which will give healthcare staff faster and easier access to essential patient information to ensure safe treatment of patients who relocate in A&E after their GP’s practice is closed. SCRs are not obligatory and patients may opt out of providing information; children will automatically have an SCR made for them.
 
Components of SCR
Diseases from which the patient is suffering and type of treatment being given; drug prescriptions; known allergies.
