Birmingham and Solihull Shared Care Record

Hall Green Health works with other health and social care organisations to share information that will form part of your Shared Care Record. The Shared Care Record allows health and care professionals involved in your care to view your records to help them understand your needs and make the best decisions with you, and for you.

Information we hold about you will be available, to read only, to other health and care professionals in Birmingham and Solihull, Coventry and Warwickshire, and Herefordshire and Worcestershire when they are involved in your health or social care.

Allowing health and social work professionals involved in your care to view your records helps them understand your needs and make the best decisions with you, and for you.

It means:

• you won’t have to repeat your details every time you need care
• clinicians will be able to see what medications you’re taking and if you have any allergies, making your treatment safer
• they’ll also be able to make better decisions about your care by knowing your recent history – things such as tests, scans, results and prescriptions
• you won’t have to explain your social care support to health professionals
• you’ll get more efficient treatment because clinicians won’t have to wait for other organisations to forward your information by letter or phone
• your care will be more joined up wherever you need it in Birmingham and Solihull, Coventry and Warwickshire or Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
