Your Summary Care Records (SCR) is an electronic record of your information, from your medical records. They can be seen and used by authorised health care staff involved in your direct care.

If you are unwell while away from home, you can receive emergency treatment from a local GP practice in the area you are staying. You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months and you will still remain a patient at your usual practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs and how to register, and how to access emergency services.
