The SCR is an electronic record of important patient information, created from GP medical records. It can be seen and used by authorised staff in other areas of the health and care system, involved in the patient’s direct care. This ensures that care in other settings is safer, reducing the risk of prescribing errors and also helps avoid delays to urgent care.
At a minimum the SCR holds important information about Current Medication, Allergies and details of any previous bad reactions to medicine Name, address, Date of Birth, and NHS Number of the patient.
