Summary Care Record (SCR) – Myth Buster Briefing 

Community Pharmacy West Yorkshire has created an SCR Myth Buster Briefing which explains what SCR can, and should, be used for and hopes to dispel some of the myths and misconceptions about SCR use.  It also has links to how to get SCR access authorised on your smartcard if this is an issue.

New registration process for access to Summary Care Record

A new process has been established for contractors to go live with Summary Care Records (SCR).  A key difference is that staff are no longer required to attend face-to-face training. 

PSNC has updated its SCR implementation checklist to reflect the change and further information, including new online training for SCR Governance Persons (formerly Privacy Officers), is available on NHS Digital's website.
