Summary care record opt out

Use this service to opt out of your summary care record.

Your Summary Care Record is a short summary of your GP medical records. It tells other health and care staff who care for you about the medicines you take and your allergies.

This means they can give you better care if you need health care away from your usual doctor’s surgery, for instance in A&E or when you’re on holiday.

If you agree, we will include additional information in your summary care record. This will help you get better care when you are away from the GP practice.

Please note, if you do not allow us to include additional information in your summary care record, your care may be harmed if you get seriously ill.

You can use this service if you:

  • are registered at the surgery

Before you start

We’ll ask you for:

  • your first and last name, date of birth, sex, postcode, email and phone number
  • if applicable, the details of the person you are completing the form on behalf of

Important: Please note

If you submit this request after 4pm on a working day, it will be opened when we re-open on the next working day. The practice is closed over the weekend.
