Our recent SNUG annual conference on the 30th November, was held face to face for the first time in over 3 years, at the Westerwood hotel in Cumbernauld. In this episode we get a taste of the atmosphere at the conference and say hello to some of the attendees. The main focus for many people was the forthcoming GP system change, with every practice now planning a move to Vision over the couple of years. We have edited highlights of a workshop which was really useful in setting out what practices will need to think about before they embark on the task of changing systems, especially important for EMIS practices, who will have to move to a brand-new system, requiring much preparation and re-training. We hear hints and tips on what to do from Robin Cupples, and Dawn Ellis, GP IT facilitation managers with the NSS Re-provisioning team, and Dr Jim Campbell, former GP and clinical advisor to the national team. What you can do now?  Deal with your patients that are registered for patient access; register for the Cegedim elearning; find and replace any local codes; tidy up your user list; think about what third party tools you need to use; and consider data cleansing. Plan ahead for the migration period:  appointment books, data entry and Word / mailmerge templates and searches don't migrate, so those will need to be rebuilt in the new clinical system. Data validation and data mapping will be needed for the first cut of migrated data. Plan for the Read- only period: let the patients know at a suitable time; plan for how clinical notes and prescriptions issued during downtime will be recorded; consider how will you manage when lab results and screen messages are switched off (just before the final cut of your data is taken). Plan for Post migration: there will be training days and webinars. Clinical data will need to be re-entered, including allergies. And we hear from Alex De Franco, the SNUG Business Manger on how she thought the conference went.

Dr Bill Martin is a former co-chair of SNUG and has recently moved on after a long spell in general practice, during which he experienced progressive computerization of all aspects of general practice. We discussed why he still thinks general practice is a great career choice, why he thinks many of the changes which have happened during the pandemic will stick, and why we will have to be careful about “opening up” surgeries again. He reflects on impending GP systems changes, having been through it all before, and recommends lots of planning as many systems are replaced over the next few years. He decides how he might spend a billion pounds on improving GP IT in Scotland, and we discussed whether general practice might benefit from having a spin doctor at the moment! We also got on to debating whether he might want to consider running for prime minister and, of course, whether Scotland might beat Ireland at rugby?

InstaPokec o všemožných okolnostech vedoucích k triumfálnímu vítězství McLarenu v GP Itálie. Vyhrál by McLaren i bez kolize Verstappena s Hamiltonem? Co všechno sehrálo roli v tom, že se soupeři v boji o titul potkali Kolo na Kolo na prahu 26. okruhu a ani jeden se nedostal dále? Jak nový protokol FIA kolem pitstopů zbrzdil zastávku Red Bullu, což přimělo Mercedes reagovat?

As Scottish GPs are starting to form cohorts within Health Boards, to prepare for selection of one of the next generation of GP IT systems, it will be essential to understand how each system delivers the requirements to become accredited and approved for use in Scotland Dr Beena Rashkes and Dr Andrew McElhinney of SNUG were joined by Shona Wares, Head of Product Management, and Margaret McCaul, National Account Manager for Scotland, margaret.mccaul@visionhealth.co.uk, for Cegedim Healthcare Solutions @CegedimHS. They share their “Vision for the future of digital health”. “Vision is a portfolio of products with a suite of applications, which can interact and be used across a variety of healthcare settings. You will have the required applications installed according to your needs, as well as the core GP system”. There is more information  for Vision users at: https://info.visionhealth.co.uk/gp-solution and some tips for users at: https://www.snughealth.org.uk/gp-software/vision/vision-user-tips/ More information about GP IT Re-provisioning is on the SNUG website: https://www.snughealth.org.uk/gp-it-re-provisioning/  or you can contact us via alex.defranco@phs.scot

This month, we are talking to ourselves! Dr Neil Kelly @NeilGKelly reflects on his impressively long stint as chairman of SNUG, and the influence SNUG can have, and has had on strategy and providing support for GP IT users. He considers, as we head into an uncertain winter, how technology can best help us deliver health care and the need for us all to look after ourselves and each other. We have an update on the latest developments in the slow running GP IT Re-Provisioning project (at 14:58), a taster of what's in store at the forthcoming SNUG virtual conference (24:34), and we get a little insight into Neil's secret interests in fermented grape juice and sea-resistant light fittings as well as his favourite SNUG anecdote.https://www.snughealth.org.uk/events/snug-membersday-2020/

A main aim of the 2018 GMS Contract was to make GP workload more sustainable and this has resulted in the addition of many Health Board employed staff to work in general practice teams - pharmacists, ANPs, physiotherapists, phlebotomists and mental health nurses. National standards have been set for the IT hardware and systems available within general practices in Scotland.Dr Andrew Cowie @DrAndrewCowie is deputy chair of the BMA's Scottish GP Committee and a GP partner in Dundee. He helped negotiate the current GMS contract for General Practice in Scotland and this episode features a conversation between Dr Cowie and Dr Andrew McElhinney of the Scottish National Users' Group (SNUG) about the standards which have been set for GP IT currently, whether these are being met, and what the main needs are going forward.SNUG Survey: we are keen to gather thoughts from our members on how funding for the  new GMS contract has been used in each area, and this will aid discussions at the SNUG Virtual Conference in November.Programme and registration page for the SNUG virtual conference on November 102018 GP contractScottish GP Committee

NHS Scotland developed SCI Gateway in the early 2000s to allow secure communication of clinical data and enable GPs to make protocol-based referrals from Primary to Secondary Care. Over the years it has been used for many thousands of GP referrals, and also a much wider range of purposes including the requesting of advice from specialists, death certifications, infection notifications, and tertiary referrals. It has been adopted by the NHS in Wales and Northern Ireland. However the NHS now has to make a decision about the future of SCI Gateway in Scotland and consider whether to invest in its future, or whether it may be time to consider a new alternative product. We have discussions with Lesly Donovan, the General eHealth manager in NHS Fife, and John Wells, eHealth Project manager in NHS Forth Valley who consider some of our questions about how vital Gateway currently it is for the daily working of the NHS and is it really essential to keep it for the future?We would be interested in what other GP IT users think...

Dr Jim Campbell  is the Clinical Advisor to the @NHSNSS National GP IT Re- Provisioning Team @GPITScotland. He has been a key influencer in GP IT for nearly 40 years and describes his journey through the world of IT as a GP in Irvine, and GP IT advisor in Ayrshire, and also his roles with the GPASS Users Group, SNUG, and now NSS and GP IT Re-provisioning, with Dr Neil Kelly @NeilGKelly) of SNUG. Jim describes moving from a world in which all prescriptions and appointments were handwritten, and how he designed a Lunar Landing game, analysed orthopaedic discharges, asked if GPs were able to record disease incidence and prevalences, and then with the GPASS Users' Group, helped support other practices and share ideas, up to the present time, when he helps  clarify the requirements for the new GP systems by developing "User Stories" to illustrate these to suppliers.How will GP IT need to up its game during the current Covid 19 pandemic? He thinks the telephone and remote access to systems will be vital. How will the current crisis change peoples' perceptions of what general practice is going to be? That will be an on-going question.https://www.campbellsoftware.co.uk/    https://www.gpit.scot.nhs.uk/news-events/

The re-procurement, renewal and modernisation of existing GP clinical systems in Scotland to the next generation of centrally hosted systems is called GP IT re-provisioning. The three suppliers who are on the Framework Contract Agreement are Vision, EMIS and Microtest, and they are currently developing their systems so they can be tested and validated against the Scottish specification and requirements.What are the implications for Scottish GP practices? Dr Neil Kelly, co-chair of the Scottish National Users’ group (SNUG) speaks to Robert Hutton, who works for National Services Scotland as implementation manager for the GP IT re-provisioning project about current progress. Robert describes what practices will have to think about before they form into cohorts, which will be required before a new system can be chosen within a health board by mini-competition. Neil also speaks to Brian Ponton, a practice manager in North Surgery, Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, about what he understands about, and is expecting from the GP IT re-provisioning process.SNUG members can get more information and see videos from our members' day about the latest re-provisioning progress at the SNUG website https://www.snughealth.org.ukYou can also find more information at the following links (please note - only available via NHS Net):https://www.gpit.scot.nhs.uk/faqs/https://www.gpit.scot.nhs.uk/news-events/SNUG is keen to hear your comments and we will try and answer any queries about GP IT re-provisioning or any other question you think SNUG can help with.You can leave comments or ask questions:on Twitter: https://twitter.com/snusersgroup or email alexandra.defranco@nhs.net

This new series of podcasts is going to look at how technology supports health care in Scotland, and SNUG - the Scottish National Users group (https://www.snughealth.org.uk) - exists to try and ensure that people get the best healthcare through the best use of technology.SNUG is a group of people who are involved in the delivery of health care through GP practices in Scotland. The SNUG Members' Day was held in May 2019 in Cumbernauld and a number of people gave short interviews about how SNUG provides a vital clinical voice to those who make decisions about what systems get used in general practice, and the day was also a great opportunity to see what current best practice is in GP IT and also to look at important new systems on display. Drs Bill Martin, Lucy Munro and Sean Kennedy, and Paul Hemsley describe how SNUG helps Scottish GP computer users.We also hear from Sarah Everett, a practice nurse in Glasgow about how she designs templates to support better health care and can share these via the SNUG website.
