Overview of Patient Consent
An Overview of Patient Consent (1.21)
Patients can opt to have a Summary Care Record on the NHS Spine.
They can choose to have:
-
Just allergies and medication, or
-
Allergies, medication and additional data, or
-
No SCR.
This must be recorded on the patient record, see Overview of Managing the Summary.
All local dissent preferences are uploaded to the NHS Spine (Access Control Service - ACS) when the Consent Migration upload is run.
Important - For patients without any consent preference, implied consent is assumed and medication and allergies are uploaded.
