Home Summary Care Record There is a new Central NHS Computer System called the Summary Care Record (SCR). The Summary Care Record is meant to help emergency doctors and nurses help you when you contact them when the surgery is closed. Initially, it will contain just your medications and allergies. Later on as the central NHS computer system develops, (known as the ‘Summary Care Record’ – SCR), other staff who work in the NHS will be able to access it along with information from hospitals, out of hours services, and specialists letters that may be added as well. Your information will be extracted from practices such as ours and held on central NHS databases. As with all new systems there are pros and cons to think about. When you speak to an emergency doctor you might overlook something that is important and if they have access to your medical record it might avoid mistakes or problems, although even then, you should be asked to give your consent each time a member of NHS Staff wishes to access your record, unless you are medically unable to do so. On the other hand, you may have strong views about sharing your personal information and wish to keep your information at the level of this practice. Connecting for Health (CfH), the government agency responsible for the Summary Care Record have agreed with doctors’ leaders that new patients registering with this practice should be able to decide whether or not their information is uploaded to the Central NHS Computer System. For existing patients it is different in that it is assumed that you want your record uploaded to the Central NHS Computer System unless you actively opt out. SCR Opt-Out Form If you choose to Opt Out of the scheme, then you will need to complete the Form below and bring it along to the surgery: Opt Out Form For further information, visit the NHS Digital website

9 Back Rochdale Pioneers Museum The building at 31 Toad Lane is enshrined in history as the place where the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers started trading in 1844. This was an early consumer co-operative made up of skilled workers like weavers, who were being thrown into poverty by the increased mechanisation of the Industrial Revolution. The aim was to provide high-quality basics like sugar, tea, butter, tobacco and flour at affordable prices, and the Rochdale Pioneers laid down the foundation for all modern co-operatives around the world. The pioneers moved out of 31 Toad Lane in 1867, but the Co-operative Movement bought the building and turned it into a museum in 1931. The museum offers context, showing the climate in the mid-19th century, and outlining the principles of the textile manufacturer Robert Owen (1771-1858), one of the founders of utopian socialism and the co-operative movement. You’ll learn how co-ops helped set the ball rolling for 20th-century reforms involving women’s rights, education and poverty. Previous Next
