Dear Pharmacy,

SUMMARY CARE RECORDS FOR COMMUNITY PHARMACIES

Staffordshire and Shropshire

In April 2014, NHS England commissioned the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) to deliver a Proof of Concept project which enabled 140 community Pharmacies across five geographical areas in England access to the Summary Care Record (SCR).

Following the success of this, NHS England has now commissioned the HSCIC to roll out SCR to the remaining community pharmacies in England.

NHS Midlands and Lancashire CSU has been nominated as preferred supplier to deliver this project across your locality.

There are however multiple pharmacies that have taken responsibility for implementing SCR internally. Therefore NHS MLCSU will not be managing the project implementation to the following pharmacy groups:

·  Boots

·  Cohens Group

·  Day Lewis

·  Dean & Smedley

·  Knights Pharmacy

·  Lloyds

·  Manor Pharmacy

·  Morrisons

·  Rowlands

·  Safedale Ltd

·  Superdrug

·  Tesco

After consultation with your Local Clinical Pharmacy representative, we have agreed to deliver a series of SCR Briefing Sessions (see attached list) to the following registered professionals:

• Pharmacists

• Pharmacy Technicians

• Locums

• Privacy Officers

Before attending the Briefing Session, staff should make themselves aware of the details via the HSCIC link below and bring a copy of the fact sheet with them:

http://systems.hscic.gov.uk/scr/pharmacy/cpfactsheet.pdf

Ideally before attending, all pharmacists and registered pharmacy technicians (employed or locum) within the pharmacy should complete the CPPE e-learning and assessment via the below link:

https://www.cppe.ac.uk/programmes/l/summary-e-01/

However completion of the CPPE e-learning is not a pre-requisite in attending the SCR Briefing Sessions. The training can be completed at any point prior to being given SCR access.

At least one colleague from each pharmacy must attend one of the following SCR Evening Briefing Sessions, who can then cascade the information throughout your Pharmacy.

Places are limited and will be booked on a first come first served basis. If you wish to attend the event on 22nd February, please email or telephone no later than Friday, 19th February.

Please confirm your attendance by returning one completed form (attached) per attendee to: .

If you have any queries in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact the NHS Midlands and Lancashire CSU SCR Project Team, using the following email address: or by telephoning 01282 731000.

We look forward to welcoming you at one of our events and supporting you on the path to SCR Access.

Kind regards

Gary Lee

SCR Records Project Manager

NHS Midlands and Lancashire CSU
