    • patients planning for end of life (SCRs to share information about their preferences, Lasting Power of Attorney and advance decisions)
    • frail patients and patients with complex medical needs
    • patients with long term conditions
    • those with Dementia, Learning Disabilities and Mental Health conditions
    • patients with physical, sensory or other disabilities, who can benefit from recording any specific needs, for example communication needs, so that health and care staff can make reasonable adjustments
    • non-English speakers
    • Patients with carers’ whose details they want to share or who have appointed someone to have Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney
    • patients with specific care preferences
