From March 2013, clinicians across Oxfordshire have been able to access the Oxfordshire Care Summary. The Oxfordshire Care Summary is a single electronic view of specific, up-to-date, clinical information from your GP record and other records which may be kept to support your care in NHS organisations in Oxfordshire.
If you have an Oxfordshire Care Summary, clinicians will be able to check medical details that are held by your GP. These will include any significant diagnoses you may have, and what medication you take, or have taken recently. They will also be able to check on what tests your GP has carried out. They will not be able to see information about conversations you have had with your GP or information on sensitive subjects such as sexual health. They will also be able to see information about treatment you have received at the Horton or John Radcliffe Hospitals, attendances at Minor Injury Units and GP Our of Hours services, and some documents such as care plans.
You will already have been asked for consent to share these pieces of information. The information will be used to ensure you get the safest treatment as quickly as possible. If you chose to opt out, the practice has added the relevant code to stop the sharing of your data.
You have the right to change your mind and can opt in or out by completing the Practice Data Sharing Options form.
