Local Health Services are Extremely Busy

The NHS is also seeing rising cases of COVID, winter vomiting bugs and respiratory (breathing) illnesses. To help prevent avoidable illness, protect vulnerable relatives and friends and ensure that vital NHS services are there for those who need them, local NHS leaders are calling on everyone in our area to follow this advice:

The National Care Record Service (NCRS)

Important information regarding your NHS medical records – Summary Care Record

The National Care Record Service (NCRS) is the way in which health professionals now access the Summary Care Record (SCR). The SCR has not changed, it is just the way SCRs are accessed that has changed.   

For more information about NCRS please see: National Care Records Service

Information for patients who wish to opt out of having a summary care record, including an opt out form is available here: Opting out
