RCGP Statement on NHS Shared Care Record
Service
The Royal College of GPs’ Ethics Committee
recommends that patients should have the right to “opt in” –
thereby providing explicit consent - to the sharing of
their medical information on the NHS Care Record. However,
we do feel that if adequate safeguards can be put in place, in
time as the system becomes more secure and patients are more aware
that their records will be shared, it may be possible to move to an
“opt out” position.
The RCGP acknowledges the value of the shared
medical record to help improve patient care and safety
