We work with NHS trusts across London to install new IT systems which support staff in providing the best care to patients.

Increasingly, more health records are electronic, giving staff quicker access to reliable information about you to help with treatment, including emergencies.

These records are:

Summary Care Records - held nationally, and

Detailed Care Records - held locally

Summary Care Record patient queries

If you have any questions about your Summary Care Record, contact your local Patient Advice and Liaison (PAL) service or your GP practice or phone the Summary Care Record Information Line on 0300 123 3020.

The Summary Care Record Information Line has translation and textphone services.
