What is a SCR?
If you are registered with a GP practice in England, you will already have a SCR unless you have previously chosen to opt out of having one.
It includes the following basic information:

* Allergies you suffer from
* Any bad reactions to medicines.
It also includes your name, address, date of birth and unique NHS Number which helps to identify you correctly.
