SCR medicines information may also be provided within the existing pharmacy clinical system if the pharmacy supplier has added this type of integration.

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society RPS has published a one-page factsheet which explains those scenarios in which to use the SCR or another electronic health record e. the LHCR if you have access to it. The decision as to when to use SCR or another electronic health record is a professional one.

Other: Check eligibility for other pharmacy services e. The EPS Tracker allows this functionality, but the SCR currently does not. In some scenarios Tracker and SCR are used together in unison. Pharmacy staff which have Smartcards with only the FFFFF multi-site code, and SCR usage rights associated with their FFFFF general code, will be asked to select which pharmacy they are working in.

The SCR usage will be counted as an SCR access for the selected site. Are pre-registration pharmacists and pharmacy technicians able to access SCR?

Two agreed professionals regulated by General Pharmaceutical Council GPhC can access SCR: pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Pre-registration trainees can do the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education CPPE training in preparation for qualification.

The suggestion is that trainees do this close to the time that they are to qualify so that the learning is maximised.

System suppliers can integrate the use of SCR information so that SCR information can be accessed more quickly and easily for when required. Pharmacists and technicians can access vital patient information quickly through the Summary Care Record SCR 1-click feature that is available within the PharmOutcomes and Sonar systems.

This can help SCR to be used as part of providing pharmacy services such as NUMSAS and the Digital Minor Illness Referral Service. Community Pharmacy England and the Community Pharmacy IT Group have encouraged all PMR suppliers to similarly implement SCR 1-click functionality into their software.

Learn more at: the PharmOutcomes SCR 1-click video guide. Visit the Sonar Informatics website for more information about their system.

EPS and Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework CPCF system suppliers or system users may inform Community Pharmacy England about progress:. System Supplier status updates: If you are a pharmacy system supplier that is developing or currently supplying an SCR enabled PMR System to the English market and would like your name added to this list please contact Community Pharmacy England.

operations nhs. Consent model. The consent framework was established during when pharmacy teams began to make use of SCR and was agreed by NHS Digital, Community Pharmacy England and others at that time as a starting point consent model.

The framework may be updated later as SCR usage becomes more common. Verbal confirmation is generally the best way to obatin consent, although some contractors may opt for written confirmation especially where the permission is ongoing. There is a sample form for recording this further below.

All patients in England have been communicated to with regards to having an SCR; they have the ability to opt-in or opt-out at any time. If a patient wishes to opt-out of having an SCR altogether as opposed to just not letting you view it then they should be advised to contact their GP practice who will record this preference.

This will assist the work of the SCR Governance Person see relevant section of this webpage investigating the legitimacy of emergency accesses.

Children can have an SCR, and in instances where the child understands what is being asked of them,. permission to access SCR is their decision.

Refer to GPhC guidance on consent. Consent is often best to obtain verbally because in many case pharmacy teams report that patient already have access to this information to support their dispensing work.

However, there is a template:. NHS Digital sample form PDF. My pharmacy serves a large care home. How can the patients provide their consent to SCR access or could this be done by care home staff?

The RPS advise that the process for obtaining consent to be used is for:. What if I believe that accessing the SCR for a Care Home patient is needed, but I cannot obtain consent? There is a consent model as explained above. In emergency situations where this model is not applicable, pharmacy may consider emergency access described earlier.

How long should I keep an SCR consent form that has been signed by the patient? This may involve SOPs. Written consent is not required but it can be obtained.

It is for a contractor to judge how long forms should be kept for, balancing the need for an audit trail against the fifth Data Protection principle of not keeping information longer than necessary. Obtaining informed consent is necessary. Governance person and auditing. SCR usage is encouraged where the pharmacist or technician determines it useful and with consent where required.

A person for each pharmacy will be able to view alerts about SCR activity, and take action to investigate only where needed. Read more below if you will be carrying out this role or assigning it persons within your pharmacy. Privacy alert notifications if you have NHSmail can provide prompts for the SCRGP to investigate SCR access and to check that the accesses have been appropriate.

Use of the Alert Viewer tool is also an option. The SCRGP will review the pattern of privacy alerts at regular intervals to spot anomalies.

Where the access is legitimate than the privacy alert is closed and no further action is required. In the event that any illegitimate access is confirmed during the investigative process, local guidelines will apply.

This can include disciplinary action, which could include ending a contract, firing an employee or bringing criminal charges. The number of individuals undertaking the role of the SCRGP will vary amongst different community pharmacy organisations.

Organisations may take into account the frequency of usage, number of staff accessing, and the number of branches live with SCR, when assigning the SCRGP role s. SCRGPs are responsible for checking appropriate use across the organisation. How much time is required to undertake the SCRGP role?

How many alerts require checking? There is no mandated number of privacy alerts which require investigation. One pharmacy team may decide to take a few minutes each week for checks, another pharmacy team may use more time, but check each quarter. The regularity of the checks may be reviewed and adjusted as processes become embedded into practice, or in the event of evidence of inappropriate usage.

Who can be a SCRGP in community pharmacy? Every pharmacy has a nominated SCRGP prior to accessing SCRCR. The designated SCRGPs ideally should not have access to SCR for the pharmacy branch they work in.

However, this may not be feasible in small pharmacies, and pharmacy professionals with access to SCR may also have the SCRGP role. Read more at: SCRGP guidance, user guides and training materials NHS Digital. Patient communications. The pharmacy privacy notice may explain that pharmacy professionals will access records such as SCR and Shared Care Records.

We align with NHS protocols for use of records. We may also ask you if, whilst you remain under our care, our pharmacy professionals can consult relevant records.

To use the calculator:. The calculator states the date of the data being used. SCR usage data in raw spreadsheet format will continue to be published for those that need to use this spreadsheet data for their bespoke analysis.

NHS Digital are also publishing the data in spreadsheet format on their calculator webpage. Pharmacy level SCR statistics by LPC area 2MB excel spreadsheet. NHS Digital update a live map of those community pharmacies which have gone live with SCR. A number of organisations and people are involved with the implementation and technical oversight of the SCR.

NHS Digital manage the national infrastructure for a variety of NHS IT projects including the SCR. NHS England are responsible for undertaking a range of tasks that support pharmacies in accessing and using national NHS IT applications.

NHS England, through its local teams may either provide support functions itself or make arrangements for commissioning support units CSUs or any other IT provider to deliver them. GP IT services will be managed by clinical commissioning groups CCGs on behalf of NHS England.

A CCG may choose to provide support functions to GP practices itself or make arrangements to commission support from CSUs or another IT provider — whilst it is possible that in some areas, NHS England and CCGs will commission the same CSU to provide SCR support for pharmacies and GPs respectively, this may not always be the case.

When SCR is down, or there is a failure with Smartcard access then an alternative to its use is contact with the GP practice as would have been the case prior to the pharmacy being live with SCR.

Sign-up to receive Spine alerts so that you will be notified if NHS IT components fail which prevent SCR access. For more on SCR and NHS IT business continuity issues read here. Community Pharmacy England recommends pharmacy staff use NHS IT business continuity tools such as:.

If an NHS pharmacist does access the SCR then this must be in accordance with The NHS Care Record Guarantee guidance.

Community Pharmacy England is sometimes asked whether contractors must access SCR and when. If so, then your access of SCR must be in accordance with The NHS Care Record Guarantee guidance available here. Pharmacy contractors with access to more detailed records such as Local Health and Carer Records LHCRs may make a determination that access to the LHCR means an additional access to SCR would not be necessary.

SCRs can only be accessed by pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, and this regulatory change does not amend that. Most contractors have previously ensured their pharmacists and pharmacy technicians have access to SCR, as this was originally a requirement of the Pharmacy Quality Scheme. Situations where consistent and reliable access to SCR may be outside the control of the contractor could include the SCR system being down at a national level and internet connection problems or power supply issues which the contractor has reported and their provider is seeking to fix.

A failure to ensure a new pharmacist or pharmacy technician member of staff or a locum has a working NHS Smartcard which allows access to SCR would be a circumstance within the control of the contractor. Pharmacy contractors with access to a more detailed record system such as their Local Health and Carer Record LHCR and access to SCR maintain access to SCR.

SCR could be used as a backup in the event of an outage with the LHCR system. The National Pharmacy Association has provided to NHS Digital the following statement:. Numark Ltd has provided to NHS Digital the following statement:.

As such, our policy will provide cover to pharmacists and technicians utilising and operating within approved guidelines and continuing to act with due regard to patient safety, care and consent. The General Pharmaceutical Council released a statement regarding liability:.

We believe that access to records will increase dialogue and communication and improve collaboration with other healthcare professionals. Whilst this is not a new area for some of the profession, for example those working in hospitals or those who work as prescribers, we recognise that this is a developing area for community pharmacy.

Pharmacy professionals who can access patient medical records must ensure that they apply the principles and requirements of conduct, ethics and performance to any additional information that they can access as result of these changes.

Under the first principle in those standards, concerning governance, standard 1. Within some areas of England, pharmacy contractors may be accessing Local Health and Care Records LHCRs.

For example the Dorset Care Record can be accessed by pharmacy contractors. Contractors may opt to access a LHCR record as an alternative to SCR access for relevant scenarios. However, even for contractors which opt to use LHCR as much as possible instead of SCR, SCR is a useful back-up e.

in case the LHCR system experiences a technical outage. Consistent access to SCR is required as described above. As these events finished in mid-February, a new process will be announced in the coming months for those who have not been to an event and plan to go live with SCR.

Community Pharmacy England will issue news once the new process is confirmed. There is a checklist of items to complete at cpe.

Summary Care Records are created and maintained by GP practices. Records are then maintained automatically, whenever there is a relevant change to the patients practice record and the user has logged on with their smartcard.

GP practices also have the capability to access and view SCRs for any non-registered patients including emergency and temporary patients. As soon as a practice starts creating SCRs they are considered to be live with SCR.

Any patient that is either seen at the practice, or whose information on their local record is updated, will have their SCR updated through the creation of a GP Summary Update. How is the SCR updated? Is there a requirement for GP practices to update the SCR?

Practices were required to implement this requirement as soon as possible after 1 April and should, by 30 September , have published a statement of intent at the practice premises and on the website where applicable to achieve the requirement by 31 March The requirement is on the basis of the current definition of the SCR i.

the core SCR record contains medications, allergies and adverse reactions and is uploaded on the basis of implied patient consent. Additional information can only be uploaded with explicit patient consent and should be information required to support patient care in an emergency or urgent situation.

The SPL was a record of vulnerable patients thought to be at high risk of complications from coronavirus COVID An updated NHS SPL was generated weekly by NHS Digital, incorporating additional patient data provided by acute trusts, GP practices and other data sources.

This enabled community pharmacy teams using the SCRa application to see an alert when viewing the SCR of such a patient. The Shielded Patient Flag went live from April Following the government announcement in September regarding the end of national shielding in England, the SPL for England closed and changes to patient risk status stopped being applied.

Information contained in the SPL was last updated at the end of September As of November , NHS Digital planned to undertake a managed closure of the SPL during late and early and planned to issue further communications later. Following the end of shielding, NHS Digital has been instructed by Department of Health and Social Care and Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation JCVI to change the high-risk flags in medical records, associated with previously clinically extremely vulnerable CEV patients, to a moderate or low-risk flag.

This is part of a managed closure of the List. As part of this, an engagement exercise took place with those who had used SPF to fully understand any continuing or additional use cases of the SPL. The aim of the engagement was to minimise the impact of closing the list on local services.

NHS Digital engaged with a range of audiences including Community Pharmacy IT Group CP ITG , hospital trusts, local authorities, mental health providers, and GP IT suppliers.
