Patients who are not found on the PDS system or have personal/demographic mismatch details, for example, telephone numbers which have not been successfully SCR PDS synchronised, are unlinked. This displays at the top of the screen with the patient details:
Any information added that is relevant to SCR, is added to the National Summary (the local record) but is not sent to the NHS Spine (for consenting patients) until the patient is subsequently selected and found on the PDS system or their details are verified and updated.
