5 CARERS AND THE CARED FOR Caring for a family member, friend or neighbour who cannot manage alone is an important and valuable role that can not only be extremely demanding but also very isolating for the carer, especially as the responsibility can exist around the clock seven days per week. We also know that many people who perform these tasks without support may not see themselves as carers but they are carers nevertheless and it is appropriate that they are offered suitable assistance. Do you look after someone who is ill, frail, disabled or mentally unwell? If so, you are a carer and the practice would like to support you. If you have not previously registered with the practice as a carer, please ask at reception for a Carers Identification and Registration Form. If you are agreeable, we will then pass your details to those organisations which may be able to provide you with appropriate support. As a carer, you are entitled to have your needs assessed by Social Services. A Carer s Assessment will give you the opportunity to talk about your needs as a carer and explore the possible ways that help could be provided. It also looks at the needs of the person you care for. There is no charge for this type of assessment. Are you a Carer? Yes/No (delete as appropriate) What is your relationship to the person you care for: e.g. spouse, partner, son, daughter, employed carer. Name and address of the person you care for Are you willing for your name to be passed to the carers organisations? Yes/No (delete as appropriate) Is the person you care for registered with this practice? Yes/No (delete as appropriate) Signature Does someone care for you? If someone else cares for you, it is important for us to hold this information in your medical record so please let us have your carer s name and contact details. Surname Title Forename(s) Address Home Phone Work Phone Mobile Phone Post Code Is your carer registered with this practice? What is the relationship between you and your carer? e.g. spouse, partner, son, daughter, employed carer. Yes/No (delete as appropriate) Page 5 of 11 WE 06/14

8 SUMMARY CARE RECORD The NHS in Plymouth is introducing the new Summary Care Record (SCR). The SCR will contain details of your medication and any allergies or adverse reactions you may have. There is also the potential for additional information to be added at some point in the future but this will require your specific agreement. The SCR will be uploaded from the practice s electronic records system and held securely on an NHS database. It will be particularly useful to staff in hospital emergency departments and those providing out of hours GP cover but access will be limited to people with appropriate permissions and those people should seek your authority each time they wish to access an SCR unless you are medically unable to give it. If you are content for your data to be uploaded and held centrally by the NHS you need do nothing but if you do not want this to happen you must opt out. This means that you must complete the opt out form overleaf and it and return it to your GP surgery as soon as possible. Your record will then be annotated to indicate that you do not give consent for your details to be uploaded. If you are the parent or guardian of children under the age of 16 years you will either have to let them make the decision themselves or decide on their behalf whether to permit the creation of an SCR or to opt out. If the decision is to opt out then an opt out form will have to be submitted for each child concerned. If you require further information on the subject please do not contact the surgery. Instead you may: visit the NHS Care Records Service website at or telephone the NHS Care Records Service information line on Page 8 of 11 WE 06/14

10 CARE DATA HOW INFORMATION ABOUT YOU HELPS THE NHS TO PROVIDE BETTER CARE Introduction Information about you and the care you receive is shared, in a secure system at the Health and Social Care Information Centre, by the NHS to support your treatment and care. It is important that the NHS can use this information to plan and improve services for all patients. They would like to link information from all the different places where you receive care, such as your GP, hospital and community service, to help them provide a full picture. This will allow them to compare the care you received in one area against the care you received in another, so they can see what has worked best. Information such as your postcode and NHS number, but not your name, will be used to link your records in a secure system, so your identity is protected. Information which does not reveal your identity can then be used by others, such as researchers and those planning health services, to make sure they provide the best care possible for everyone. How your information is used and shared is controlled by law and strict rules are in place to protect your privacy. The NHS needs to make sure that you know this is happening and the choices you have. Care data should not be confused with the Summary Care Record. Benefits of sharing information Sharing information can help improve understanding, locally and nationally, of the most important health needs and the quality of the treatment and care provided by local health services. It may also help researchers by supporting studies that identify patterns in diseases, responses to different treatments and potential solutions. Information will also help to: find more effective ways of preventing, treating and managing illnesses; guide local decisions about changes that are needed to respond to the needs of local patients; support public health by anticipating risks of particular diseases and conditions, and help them to take action to prevent problems; improve the public s understanding of the outcomes of care, giving them confidence in health and care services; and guide decisions about how to manage NHS resources fairly so that they can best support the treatment and management of illness for the benefit of patients. What will the NHS do with the information? The NHS will only use the minimum amount of information they need to help improve patient care and the services they provide. The NHS has developed a thorough process that must be followed before any information can be shared. They sometimes release information to approved researchers, if this is allowed under the strict rules in place to protect your privacy. They are very careful with the information and they follow strict rules about how it is stored and used. The NHS will make sure that the way they use information is in line with the law, national guidance and best practice. Reports that they publish will never identify a particular person. Do I have a choice? Yes. You have the right to prevent confidential information about you from being shared or used for any purpose other providing your care, except in special circumstances. If you do not want information that identifies you to be shared outside the practice please complete the opt-out form below. This will be entered in your medical record and prevent your confidential information being used other where necessary by law, (for example, if there is a public health emergency). Page 10 of 11 WE 06/14

11 You will also be able to restrict the use of information held by other places you receive care, such as hospitals and community services. Once again, please complete the opt-out form below if you want to restrict the use of this information. Your choice will not affect the care you receive. Do I need to do anything? If you are happy for your information to be shared you do not need to do anything. There is no form to fill in and nothing to sign and you can change your mind at any time. If you are not happy for your information to be shared, please complete the opt-out form below and return it to your normal surgery. Where can I get more information? Leaflets in other languages and formats plus a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) are available from the NHS Care Data website You can also get further information from the website at or speak to staff at the practice.
