The Herefordshire and ´óÐãÊÓƵ Shared Care Record allows health and care professionals to view the most up-to-date information about you so they can give you better, safer care.

Partner health and care organisations will make the information they hold on you available for professionals to view through the Shared Care Record. These organisations provide health and care services in the following areas:

• Birmingham and Solihull
• Coventry and Warwickshire
• Herefordshire and ´óÐãÊÓƵ

They include local GP practices, hospitals, NHS 111, community, mental health, ambulance, and social care services.

The health and care partners involved follow the law on keeping your information confidential. The laws they must abide by are the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

Each organisation is also registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as a data controller – an organisation that decides what information is collected and why, and how it is handled. The partners will be joint data controllers for any personal, or special categories of personal information they handle.
