Social Prescriber Services available as SELF-REFERRAL SERVICE

Great news as the Social Prescribing self-referral is open to all PCN2 Practices and now allows patients registered at East Finchley Medical Practice to self-refer on to the service.

Please note that only the following referral reasons are available to select: Addiction Support, Bereavement Support, Carers Support, Digital Inclusion, Emotional Wellbeing, Employment support, Financial Advice, Loneliness / Isolation. Anyone outside of these reasons of referral, or perhaps more complex in need, would have to be referred via the Practice.

Summary Care Record

There is a new Central NHS Computer System called the Summary Care Record (SCR). It is an electronic record which contains information about the medicines you take, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had.

 

Why do I need a Summary Care Record?

Storing information in one place makes it easier for healthcare staff to treat you in an emergency, or when your GP practice is closed.

This information could make a difference to how a doctor decides to care for you, for example which medicines they choose to prescribe for you.

Who can see it?

Only healthcare staff involved in your care can see your Summary Care Record. 

 

How do I know if I have one?

Over half of the population of England now have a Summary Care Record. You can find out whether Summary Care Records have come to your area by looking at our interactive map or by asking your GP

Do I have to have one?

No, it is not compulsory. If you choose to opt out of the scheme, then you will need to complete a form and bring it along to the surgery. You can use the form at the foot of this page.
