A Summary Care Record is an electronic record of important information about your health. At first, it will contain information about any allergies you may have, bad reactions to medicines and medicines that you are taking. This will be in addition to your existing health records which will continue to be used as they are now.

The summary care record will be available only to authorised healthcare staff providing your NHS care, which means if you have an accident or become ill, the clinicians treating you will have immediate access to important information about your health.

  • I thought that if you had an accident or illness anywhere in England the NHS medical proffession had access to your allergies and medicinal info anyway... I didnt know they had to request it from your GP.. So im still unsure why you would want to opt out.. Anybody care to shed some light on this?
