How to view a patient’s Summary Care Record

These role-based access control (RBAC) codes can view an SCR with a patient’s consent:

• B0257
• B0082
• B0168
• B0085
• B0030

These RBAC codes can view an SCR without a patient’s consent:

• B0257 – for legal or emergency access reasons
• B0082 – for legal reasons
• B0168 – for emergency access reasons
• B0085 and B0030 – by self-claiming a Legitimate Relationship with the patient

You can view the patient's SCR from the ‘Clinical’ panel from the ‘Overview’ tab. The information there will change depending on the patient’s SCR preference, which is set by their GP practice. The options displayed will be either:

• Summary Care Record with Additional Information
• Summary Care Record
• No Summary Care Record exists for this patient

At a minimum, a patient's SCR contains important information about: 

• medication 
• allergies and details of any previous reactions to medicines 

If the patient has given permission, the SCR will contain additional information, including: 

• details of long-term conditions 
• significant medical history 
• specific communications needs  

For more information, see Additional Information in the SCR.
