Patients’ attitudes to the summary care record and HealthSpace: qualitative study — Greenhalgh et al. 336 (7656): 1290 — BMJ

The summary care record (SCR) is a centrally stored summary of key medical details that is created from a person’s existing NHS record (currently, the detailed record held by their general practitioner) and made available to NHS staff in emergency and unscheduled care situations (accident and emergency departments, general practice out of hours clinics, and walk-in centres). It is comparable with (but differs in important respects from) the emergency care summary in Scotland and the individual health record in Wales.
