Information about all NHS users and the care they receive is shared, in a secure system, by healthcare staff to support your treatment and care. Having access to this information means that healthcare staff can make an informed decision about your treatment when you need unplanned care or when the surgery is closed. The aim is to improve patient safety, efficiency and effectiveness of care, and to improve the patient experience.

Please inform a member of staff if you would like more information. If you would like to opt out, you can do so online by completing the Summary Care Record Opt Out form. If you opt out, you can opt in again at any time.
