Shared Care Records

The Shared Care Record is a single integrated system and will enable better and more connected care across the Black Country and West Birmingham. It will provide all health professionals directly involved in the care of a patient, with a summary view of their care and treatment across all care settings.  This means patients won’t have to repeatedly explain things and will ensure the professionals providing care always have important details like any allergies or existing medical conditions.
