NHS England requires practices to enable successful automated uploads of any changes to patient summary information, at least on a daily basis.
Having your SCR available to other service providers, such as hospitals, will help those treating you by allowing them to see a small part of your GP medical record. They will have access to information about any medication you may be taking and any allergies you may have.
Of course if you do not want your medical records to be available in this way then you will need to let us know so that we can update your record. If you have already advised us that you do not want a SCR available outside of the practice, you do not need to do so again, your records will have already been excluded from this. More details about the SCR can be found at the NHS Care Records website here.
Abridge Surgery confirms that your SCR is already automatically updated on at least a daily basis to ensure that your information is as up to date as it can possibly be.
