Summary Care Records (SCR)
The SCR is an electronic summary of key health information. The availability of the SCR can provide benefits to both staff and patients, by giving healthcare staff faster, easier access to reliable information so they can provide more effective treatment to patients.
Patients can, over the next few years, have a Summary Care Record which can be available to authorised health care professionals treating them anywhere in the NHS in England.
The Summary care record (SCR) programme is the national element of the NHS Care Records Service.
