What is GP Connect?

GP Connect gives authorised clinical staff access to patient information where and when they need it, which enables them to deliver a higher standard of care and work more efficiently.

The platform effectively bridges the gap between GP practices and hospitals, allowing staff to share and view clinical information and data between IT systems without delay.

We work in partnership with your organisation to understand your unique system requirements and how they interact with each other, to ensure a quick and seamless integration with GP Connect.

GP Connect in action

Irrespective of what IT system or set-up, or where your organisation’s site is located, GP Connect offers you greater flexibility in how you operate, enabling your staff to view, share and act on patient records in three ways:

  • GP Connect: Access Record – by logging into the system, clinicians will be able to access all relevant patient records without having to chase individual GP surgeries. The data they retrieve will be made available in either HTML read-only format, or machine-readable, coded format.
  • GP Connect: Send Document – for any medical interactions that take place away from a patient’s usual practice, a standardised summary of the consultation is used to update the patient’s record using GP Connect messaging components, such as ITK3 and MESH to deliver the message.
  • GP Connect: Manage Appointment – initially rolled out to help manage appointments during the Covid-19 vaccination programme, this feature allows appointments to be booked on behalf of patients at their regular GP practice or other healthcare settings.

There are a multitude of healthcare organisations where GP Connect functionality and capability would be beneficial – a few include: Integrated care systems, hospitals, ambulance services, hospices, social care, care homes, pharmacies, mental health trusts and emergency care service providers.

But with healthcare information more readily available than ever, patients are taking a more active role in their own treatment journey. In our latest blog, 6B assesses why this digital journey in healthcare is so important, and what we can do to help organisations give patients the best possible outcomes.

What is NHS GP Connect?

In business, time is money. But in healthcare, time means something far more valuable: human life. To deliver improvements in patient care and outcomes, clinicians need real-time access to data that gives them an accurate view of a patient’s medical history.
