The YHCR provides local people with access to their health and care information and encourages them to be more involved in looking after their health. The YHCR was created to help GPs, doctors, nurses and care practitioners to access and share your up-to-date clinical information by accessing data held by multiple health and care settings from a single care record.

“As a clinician working in the emergency department then we have seen the benefits of the ambulance service transfer of care documents becoming readily available in our Electronic Health Record. In the future we will realise the benefits of sharing wider information including alerts, diagnosis and discharge letters. This will improve both the quality and safety of care we deliver in our clinical services.”
