Primary Care Academy Team < Back Emily Gibson Primary Care Academy Team LMS Developer I joined the Primary Care Academy in February 2025 as an E-Learning Systems Developer. With over 20 years of experience in Learning and Development across both the voluntary and private sectors, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and organisations to meet their training goals. My background includes designing and delivering face-to-face learning, and over the past five years, I’ve focused increasingly on online training, developing digital learning solutions and overseeing their completion and compliance. I was seeking a new challenge when I came across this opportunity, and from the very first conversation, I felt an immediate connection with the team. The role excited me, and I’m truly grateful to now be part of such a talented and inspiring group of colleagues. I live in North Wales with my husband and son, where we love spending weekends outdoors, either exploring the mountains or enjoying time on (or in) the water. We’re also kept happily busy with our three grandchildren, and a fourth on the way! Although I primarily work remotely, I enjoy my regular visits to Rochdale and connecting in person with the wider team.

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
