My Care Record is an initiative launched several years ago to enable information sharing, underpinned by an information sharing agreement widely adopted across most of the East of England. It is designed to ensure that health and social care professionals have access to up-to-date information about the individuals they care for, improving the coordination and quality of care delivered.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation ( UK GDPR), there is a legal basis for sharing information between health and care services when necessary for care delivery. My Care Record facilitates this by establishing an agreement among participating organisations to share information securely and responsibly. This framework not only aims to improve care, but also reduces the administrative burden, allowing health professionals to spend more time on care delivery rather than coordination.

There are a range of materials to support the campaign including easy read and translated resource. An animated film explaining the ‘My Care Record’ can be found here.
