Summary Care Records For Pharmacists Webinar 28th January 2015

The IPF has put together a webinar which will outline where the Summary Care Records (SCR) project is up to and how in the future you could be using these to provide safer prescribing for your patients both on a day to day basis and in emergencies.

In April 2014, HSCIC and NHS England embarked on a Proof of Concept project in order to enable approximately 100 pharmacies access to SCRs.

The aim of this webinar is to share with you the benefits which are beginning to be reported, share some of the pharmacists’ experiences having used SCR, and discuss what the future may hold beyond the proof of concept scope to March 2015.

This is the ideal opportunity to find out from the HSCIC team, NHS England and users how it has gone and how you can be prepared.

During the 1 hour webinar they will discuss what is SCR & what has been achieved so far, the benefits for patients, pharmacists and the NHS. The user experience and when it is most appropriate to use. Most importantly – what comes next, the plans for further roll out.

There will be opportunity for questions at the end of the live presentation. If you have any questions you can send them in on the night or now! Please email sharonwilson@hscic.gov.uk with these.
