In Leeds, we have developed a virtual system called the Leeds Care Record. If you live in Leeds you will have a Leeds Care Record created for you.
The Leeds Care Record pulls key information from several different health and social care records and stores it in one combined record. This enables health and social care professionals to find all the key information for your care in one place.
At the moment, every health and social care organisation that you use has a different set of patient or service user records for you. These records may duplicate information, or one record might hold information about your treatment, care and support that another one doesn’t.
To provide the best care to you as a patient or service user it is essential that health and social care professionals have access to the most up-to-date information.
