Summary Care Record (SCR)

If you decide to have an SCR, it will contain important information about any medicines you are taking, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines that you have had it will also include basic information about your current diagnoses.

Giving healthcare staff access to this information can prevent mistakes being made when caring for you in an emergency or when your GP practice is closed.

Your Summary Care Record will also include your name, address, date of birth and your unique NHS Number to help identify you correctly.

If you and your GP decide to include more information it can be added, but only with your express permission.

For more information, visit www.digital.nhs.uk/services/summary-care-records-scr

Please provide your Summary Care Record choice:

This will mean NHS Healthcare staff caring for you may not be aware of your current medications, any allergies or reactions to previous medication.

Local Shared Electronic Health Record

Many areas of the country have a local shared electronic health record too. Giving healthcare staff access to this information can prevent mistakes being made when caring for you in an emergency or when your GP practice is closed.

Are you happy for your record to be shared across organisations caring for you? (This is accessed by relevant staff for your direct care on a need-to-know basis only.)

Are you happy to be part of the local shared electronic health care record?

This will mean that NHS Healthcare staff may not be able to see important elements of your care history.

Electronic Prescribing Service (EPS)

The EPS allows prescribers – such as GPs and practice nurses to send prescriptions electronically to a dispenser (such as a pharmacy) of the patient’s choice. This makes the prescribing and dispensing process more efficient and convenient for patients and staff.

As a practice, we would encourage all patients to opt for electronic prescribing.

Please provide your Electronic Prescription Service choice:

Supplementary Questions

I am not ordinarily a resident in the UK

Ordinarily Resident

Anybody in England can register with a GP practice and receive free medical care from that practice.

However, if you are not ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK you may have to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. Being ordinarily resident broadly means living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis for the time being. In most cases, nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area must also have the status of ‘indefinite leave to remain’ in the UK.

Some services, such as diagnostic tests of suspected infectious diseases and any treatment of those diseases are free of charge to all people, while some groups who are not ordinarily resident here are exempt from all treatment charges.

More information on ordinary residence, exemptions and paying for NHS services can be found in the Visitor and Migrant patient leaflet, available from your GP practice. Alternatively for more information go to www.nhs.uk/visitingengland.

You may be asked to provide proof of entitlement in order to receive free NHS treatment outside of the GP practice, otherwise you may be charged for your treatment. Even if you have to pay for a service, you will always be provided with any immediately necessary or urgent treatment, regardless of advance payment.

The information you give on this form will be used to assist in identifying your chargeable status, and may be shared, including with NHS secondary care organisations (e.g. hospitals) and NHS Digital, for the purposes of validation, invoicing and cost recovery. You may be contacted on behalf of the NHS to confirm any details you have provided.

Please select one of the following statements:

I declare that the information I give on this form is correct and complete. I understand that if it is not correct, appropriate
action may be taken against me.

A parent/guardian should complete the form on behalf of a child under 16.

Your EHIC, PRC or S1 information will be shared with The Department for Work and Pensions for the purpose of recovering your NHS costs from your home country.
