SystmOne records | Summary Care Record | Public Health
Norton Medical Centre creates a Summary Care Records for each patient. This will contain information about any allergies you may have, unexpected reactions to medications, and any prescriptions you have recently received. The intention is to help clinicians in Accident and Emergency departments and 'Out of Hours' health services to give you safe, timely and effective treatment.
More information about Summary Care Records can be found at the following address: www.nhscarerecords.nhs.uk
A Summary Care Record will be created for you unless you choose to opt-out.
If you wish to opt-out of having a Summary Care Records, please complete this form and return to reception. Alternatively, if you have access to SystmOnline you can complete the 'Consent to share information' questionnaire.

The Partners are naturally very disappointed that concerns have been identified by CQC but are eager to address these. Our main priority is to ensure our patients continue to have access to good quality and safe medical care. Patients can be reassured that we are working closely with CQC, the ICB and the LMC, to make the identified improvements following our CQC inspection and patients should continue to access services from this practice as normal.
