PERFORMANCE: Surrey’s first summary care records were successfully created at a GP practice this month.

NHS Surrey says it can now start rolling out summary care records for the 1.2 million people living in the county.

The new system is being piloted at five practices in north west Surrey before it is rolled out across the rest of the county, over the next year.

Southview practice in Woking was the first practice in the county to go live, having successfully uploaded over 8,000 records on 16 November.
