Notts Care Record goes live with GPRCC and eHealthscope data

Interweave has announced that GPRCC (General Practice Repository for Clinical Care) and eHealthscope data has gone live in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire shared care record, taking them one step closer to completing the first phase of data development.

The introduction of the GPRCC and eHealthscope data is said to combine “crucial insights” with wider community services, including community nursing, community mental health services and Nottinghamshire County Council social care services.

It means these services can now access end of life coded data and 10 million conditions/diagnoses from EMIS and SystmOne, frailty data around mobility, continence, living arrangements etc. and diabetes coded data such as lab results and clinical findings, for people on the Diabetes Register.

The phased rollout of the Notts Care Record is said to continue across the region over the summer, in order to “further enhance patient care and operational efficiency”, with the implementation of GPRCC and eHealthscope providing “a much stronger primary care data set than is currently available”.

The Interweave shared care record is also utilised by Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust who recently implemented the Yorkshire and Humber Care Record, as a way to help improve the accessibility of patient information across its services. The programme now involves 13 local NHS organisations and local authorities, providing a view of a patient’s history.

Shared care record updates: the wider trend 

Suffolk and North East Essex ICB shared an update on digital progress as part of the board’s latest meeting in March, highlighting some of the benefits of their shared care record. A PRSB evaluation summary showed how the system recorded its highest ever usage in January 2025 of 175,131, a reported increase of 21,908 since January 2024, with increased engagement from 17 out of 20 partners.

Earlier in the year, Cambridge University Hospitals went live with instant shared care record access directly from the trust’s Epic EPR, meaning access is now granted through a role-based control model.

In Greater Manchester, Health Innovation Manchester announced that over 60 Well Pharmacy sites plan to have access to the region’s shared care record. By having access to the record, pharmacies across the Manchester region can now reportedly view health and social care data, including “medication history, blood pressure records, lifestyle notes, and immunisation details to support flu and COVID-19 immunisation services”.

Shropshire Health and Wellbeing Board published an update on progress toward Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin ICS’s digital strategy, highlighting “key accomplishments” since March 2024. In terms of integrated care records and population health management, the report states that “implementation of the shared care record through the Graphnet contract has laid a critical foundation for data-sharing across the ICS, enabling clinicians and care providers to access real -time patient information and fostering collaborative care”. A “major achievement” has also been establishing a data feed across the ICS with seamless integration into the One Health & Care Shared Care Record.
