What is My Care Record

 My Care Record is an approach to improving care by joining up health and care information.

Your GP, hospital, community health, mental health and social care teams all hold records about your care separately. Often, only health and care professionals within the same organisation can see this information. This means it can be difficult for services to work together to deliver the best care. When information is made available in a more joined-up way, health and care professionals can provide safer, more effective care for you and your family.

Health and care organisations in our region are working together to implement an approach called My Care Record. My Care Record enables frontline staff to securely access the information they need to look after you, even if they work for different organisations or in different locations.

For example, a hospital doctor, community nurse or social worker involved in your care could view the information they need from your GP record.
