Summary Care Record

Your GP surgery shares your important healthcare information with other healthcare professionals in England when they provide you with direct care, such as emergency care or referral to a specialist service. This is called a Summary Care Record (SCR).


Your SCR is shared with healthcare professionals to ensure the quality and safety of your care. This reduces the risk of things like adverse medical reactions or delays in urgent care. You can choose not to share your SCR. However, this will mean healthcare professionals will not have access to important information about your healthcare. 

What information is included in a SCR?

  • Current medications
