What is the Great North Care Record?
- The Great North Care Record gives the staff caring for you a more complete picture of your medical history.
- It does this by bringing together information held about you in different places such as your GP practice and local hospital available to the staff looking after you.
- Your health and care record is like a jigsaw puzzle. Everyone involved in your care holds a piece of the puzzle. With the @GreatNorthCareRecord we are putting the pieces together.
