Join our Cloud Community of Practice
Our Cloud Centre of Excellence team will be launching a new NHS Cloud Community on the FutureNHS platform in March, called the Cloud Community of Practice.
It’s aimed at NHS organisations who are interested in all aspects of cloud migration and will be an open forum for people to pose questions and present their challenges around cloud migration to peers.
To pre-register your interest in the Cloud Community please contact us at [email protected].
Improvements to the Register with a GP surgery service
Recent improvements to the Register with a GP surgery online service include:
- revised alcohol and smoking questions to improve patient information at point of registration
- an option for patients to nominate their chosen pharmacy
We are planning to add more features and integrate the service with the NHS App later this year. See our roadmap for more details.
The Register with a GP surgery service is now live with almost 600 practices and has shown to reduce the time it takes administrative staff to register new patients by up to 15 minutes per registration.
GP practices can begin using the service by self-enrolling or by contacting the dedicated support team. Further information can also be found on the resource hub.
