One Health and Care – Summer 2021
Did you know? From summer 2021, everyone’s health and social care records in Shopshire, Telford and Wrekin will be available on the new integrated care record ‘One Health and Care’.
Completely confidential and secure, it’s designed to help doctors, nurses and other registered health and social care professionals directly involved in a patient or client’s care to make better, safer decisions.
The information that they will be able to see includes:
- Name, date of birth, sex, address, telephone number, NHS number
- The name of their GP Practice and GP
- Medications, allergies, ongoing and historic conditions, immunisations and diagnoses
- Test results, hospital referrals, admissions, discharges, and clinics attended
- Social and mental health information and care plans
Sensitive information such as attendance at sexual health clinics, fertility treatment records, and records relating to gender reassignment will not be included.
During summer 2021, all GP practices within Shopshire, Telford and Wrekin will have access to One Health and Care along with the following organisations:
- Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust
- Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
- Shropshire Council (Social care)
- Telford & Wrekin Council (Social care)
- Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust
- Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
If patients or clients are happy for their records to be available on One Health and Care to health and social care professionals, they don’t need to do anything. Alternatively, if they wish to raise an objection, they need to contact their GP Practice.

COVID-19 – Vaccination Status/Proof
The quickest and most effective way of obtaining your vaccination details is to register for an account on https://www.patientaccess.com – from this site you can “Share” or “Export” your vaccination status information. For example you can “Export” to a PDF, which will show your name, DOB, address and list your vaccinations. Please see this redacted copy example. This is a free and fully protected website, affiliated with the NHS.
Please note that you should allow the system at least one week from your vaccination date(s) to be updated with your vaccination information.
SCR Shared Care Records
We are now having to ask all our patients if you are happy for us to share some of your medical records with the hospital and Shropdoc (out of hours).
A form is available at reception where there is more information available if you wish to decline.
ONLINE ACCESS TO YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS AND MORE
All our patients over 16 can now view their medical records, immunisations, investigation results, order repeat prescriptions and book appointments online through EMIS ACCESS. All we need is for you to bring in 2 forms of photographic ID also confirming your address and for you to fill in a form and we can enable it for you. We do need an up to date mobile number and an email address that is personal to you only (not shared with any body else ie your spouse).
Text Message Reminders
Could you please ensure we are kept up to date with your mobile number to enable us to send you SMS messages for things like notifying you of flu clinics, asthma reviews or maybe even that the doctor wishes to speak to you following x-ray or blood tests and many other reasons.
SCR Shared Care Records
We have to notify ALL our patients under new Government Guidelines that each patient has to have a NAMED ACCOUNTABLE DOCTOR.
Dr Katy Lewis will be your named Accountable doctor who is responsible for your overall care at the practice. This will NOT mean that you can only see that doctor but you can still see a doctor of your own choosing.
Get Well, Keep Well
Of course we’re not just here for when you are unwell. Our team of healthcare professionals and back-up staff offer a number of clinics and services to promote good health and wellbeing whatever your medical condition.
