GP Connect is free to use*

GP Connect is an NHS service that enables CQC-registered adult social care providers to securely view key information from a person’s GP record in real time. With GP Connect, authorised care staff can access important parts of a client’s GP record directly through the Assured DSCR system. The full list of Assured DSCR solutions is available at Assured solutions for digital social care records | Digitising Social Care

This includes:

• Last 3 encounters of interaction with professionals at the GP, including any summary information if this has been added to the record
• Details of current and previous medications 
• Information on allergies and adverse reactions 
• Active concerns and medical history 
• Immunisation record 
• Test results and referrals (read-only where available) 

GP Connect is free to use*, and already available via all of the Assured DSCRs. Once set up there’s no extra work needed from the GP practice, it’s seamless.  

*Some DSCR suppliers may levy a small charge to access the system from their software, contact your DSCR supplier to check.

To get connected, simply contact your DSCR supplier, who will guide you through the process of enabling GP Connect at your location.
