GM Care Record

Community Pharmacy providers across Greater Manchester can now access a patient’s full medical record via the GM Care Record via PharmOutcomes, improving the quality and safety of care provided to patients in the community.

How can Community Pharmacists access the GM Care Record?

There are 3 simple steps to follow to gain access to the GM Care Record:

Step 1
