SCR and Smartcard changes feedback during the COVID-19 Pandemic

To help facilitate easier access to patient information, over the past few months there have been temporary changes to both smartcards and the SCR for pharmacy teams, including multi-site (FFFFF) access (which allows pharmacists and technicians to access the SCR at any pharmacy site they may be working at) for all pharmacists and technicians, and additional information to be included as the default SCR. In order to help lift up examples of best practice and to lobby effectively for their continuation beyond the length of the COVID-19 pandemic, PSNC is requesting pharmacy teams email it@psnc.org.uk with experiences about why the changes are necessary even were it not for the pandemic.
