How National Summary will be rolled out

The National Summary rollout process will be put into action as follows:

Your patients have been previously contacted about Summary Care Records and have been given the opportunity to opt out should they wish. It is the practice's responsibility to ensure new patients are aware of SCRs in the practice.

On the day designated by your CCG for your SCR go-live you have the following tasks to perform:

• Switch on SCR functionality. See Enabling/Disabling SCR
• Run the Consent Migration upload. See SCR Modules - GP Summary Bulk Uploads - Consent Migration
• Run the Initial Upload - This is a one-off upload of all non-dissenting patient summaries (Core Data) automatically compiled and sent to the Spine. See SCR Modules - GP Summary Bulk Uploads - Initial Upload

Note - RBAC must be fully enabled (as for EPS R2) at your Practice before SCR can be enabled. You must contact your Registration Authority or those responsible for maintaining your Smartcard prior to your go-live day. See Preparing for SCR and RBAC Roles used in SCR for further details.
