NHS England’s Shared Care Records programme is developing a birth-to-death record.

Shared Care Records aggregate information on an individual’s care records and care plans from a range of providers of health and care services. This will be available to authorised professionals for direct care to that individual and to patients and their approved carers. We will enable patients and their approved carers to contribute specific information on what matters to them to reduce the need to repeat personal histories.

The programme is discussing opportunities to adopt a common approach with the devolved administrations using the International Patient Summary.
