Summary Care Record
If you’re registered with a GP surgery you’ll have a Summary Care Record, unless you’ve chosen not to have one. It contains basic information including your allergies and medicines. It also includes any previous reactions you’ve had to medicine.
Having this information in one place makes it easier for healthcare staff to treat you in an emergency, or when the practice is closed.
