Practice No Longer Contributing to SCR

For practices who are closing and will no longer be contributing to SCR, this new function enables you to bulk send a GP Summary update for all qualifying patients at the practice with an additional message indicating that the practice is no longer contributing to SCR. This can only be run once the SCR function is disabled/Switched off. See Enabling/Disabling GP Summary

Note - Once SYS has disabled SCR, login with a smart card to access GP Summary Bulk Transmission - Practice No Longer Contributing to SCR.

Disabling SCR functionality should only be used in extreme circumstances and you should ensure that you have fully understood the implications before disabling it. Switching off SCR has a potential impact on the care your patients will receive and it is possible that all patients should be written to, to confirm the practice is no longer updating their SCR. This upload is inactive until the SCR function is switched off, the upload then activates and can be run.

  1. Go to Vision 3 Front Screen - SCR - GP Summary Bulk Uploads .
