When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.

Record Sharing (Summary Care Records)

As part of your registration, you will be automatically opted in to Summary Care Record  sharing. This allows essential information about your health such as medications, allergies, and adverse reactions to be securely shared with other healthcare professionals involved in your care.

If you do not wish to share your Summary Care Record, please contact the practice directly to opt out.

Why is record sharing important?

Sharing your health information helps ensure that you receive safe, effective, and timely care — particularly in emergency situations. It enables healthcare professionals to make informed decisions, avoid medication errors, and reduce delays in treatment.
