Your SCR is your medical records. Summary Care Records (SCRs) have two primary forms: the core SCR and the SCR with Additional Information (SCRai). The core SCR contains essential patient information, including full name, date of birth, NHS number, long-term health conditions, significant medical history, current medications, allergies, and any known adverse reactions. Approximately 58 million people have an SCRai, which includes additional information. SCRais document lifestyle details like smoking status, alcohol consumption, treatment preferences, and necessary adjustments during treatment. They also explain the reasons behind prescribed medications and include information about hospitalisations, immunisations, and relevant test results to ensure appropriate patient care.
