class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Membership of the NUG had been decreasing year on year and, with it, revenue.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The Committee are actively seeking ways to increase membership and reduce costs.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;ThinkM, marketing and research consultants, have been engaged to help us undertake a review of our services and their report is due at the end of November.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In terms of the NUG Office, two full time staff have been made redundant. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;In June, we held a successful one day conference in Glasgow.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Our core activities have included: representing EMIS users on a number of different bodies, including UK Terminology Centre GP Forum; arguing successfully in forums such as GPSoC for the ESCROW &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Agreement; meeting regularly with EMIS in order to build good clear links with them, and attempting to regain some of the members we have lost in the last couple of years and at the same time recruit new members to the NUG.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;4.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Treasurer&amp;rsquo;s Report (Tom Kerr)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Detailed accounts for the year to 31&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; December 2009 are available to members on request.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Treasurer pointed out that the accounts show a surplus of &amp;pound;20,000; in addition the NUG holds reserves of &amp;pound;100,000 in investment holdings and there is a contingency reserve of &amp;pound;60,000.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The Charity Commission expect us to utilise our funds to the benefit of our members and at our Strategy Meeting in November we will be discussing how to make the best use of those investment funds.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The small surplus of &amp;pound;20,000 must be viewed in the light of a worrying decline in membership and conference income.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Subscription income increased by &amp;pound;1,500 to &amp;pound;178,735 due to the &amp;pound;10 per member increase, however, conference income fell by &amp;pound;35,790 to &amp;pound;186,970.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The office staff moved to smaller premises which saw a reduction in rent of just over &amp;pound;3,000.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The message is we are very conscious of our cash flow and costs and we are seeking to drive these down and be as efficient as possible.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was proposed to re-appoint Dodd and Co. as accountants and auditors and this was seconded by Dai Evans and approved by the members.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Questions from the floor:-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot;

&lt;/span&gt;With regards to costs versus income for the year &amp;ndash; were costs greater &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;or was income?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;A.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We made &amp;pound;20,000 more than we expected over the year.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Indications &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;are that we will not be in that position by the end of next year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Membership has gone down from 2,000 to 1,700.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Approximately one-&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Secretary explained that a review of the Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association is being undertaken to ensure that they both accurately reflect how the NUG operates.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;These documents will be uploaded on the website.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;We are also undertaking a review of the membership, i.e. targeting potential members who may not be in the loop, for example, locums not linked to any particular practice.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Questions from the floor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Q. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Perhaps GP Commissioning Groups might be interested in joining &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;A.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;GP District Nurses who are using EMIS - we have to take the decision &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;about how we expand the membership to serve both ourselves and the &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;wider membership and promote the use of EMIS as we move into a &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;new era.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Q.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;To what degree do you feel EMIS is subject to the influence of the NUG?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;A.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s a difficult area because the EMIS focus at the moment is on EMIS &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Web.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;However the NUG committee meet regularly with EMIS to discuss our &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;input into developing what we think needs developing too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Q.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Is there a role for this conference to have a session on what &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;developments you would like to see from EMIS?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;A.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We did think a session on that last year.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We could look at it again in &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;the future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;6.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/span&gt;To address the issue of costs, we plan to keep the magazine to 28 pages.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Ideas and suggestions for content are required.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We need to widen the scope of the articles, in turn, widening the appeal of the magazine.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Articles have been included by not only GPs but also Practice Managers, Health Visitors, Nurses etc. in an attempt to broaden the pool of authors as well as the content.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Authors are paid &amp;pound;200 for published articles and &amp;pound;50 for hints and tips.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;6.2&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/span&gt;Its role is to pick up themes of issues affecting EMIS users, particularly with regards to support and communication and feed these back to EMIS; review user documentation before it goes onto the EMIS website (to make it more relevant) and review EU UI/Patch documentation prior to issue.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Issues are gleaned from EMIS list, emails to the NUG office/website, questionnaires and direct contact with other users which is fed back to EMIS via meetings with Andy Whitwam, EMIS director and Richard Wilson, Manager of Support, 3-4 times per year.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Examples of items resolved by the Watchdog Committee during the last year include audit trail issues, label trace issues, warning messages to prevent torrents of paper in path reports, when prescribing Methotrexate to advise the prescription of only one tablet strength.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Changes to the Watchdog team:&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Both Janet and Hasib are standing down after 11 years service.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Significant achievements during that time include: automated telephone system, back-up tape validation, Failures?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Still communication issues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Members were urged to continue to send items of significance via the NUG office.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;6.3&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/span&gt;Tim Walter rescued us with a temporary list and has agreed to permanently host the various list and integrate them with the new forum software, now working well. All the lists, PCS for beginners and EMIS for beginners are active and running on the forum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot;

class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left: 0.5in&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;The following suggestions were made:-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;

      <title>EMIS Web or Summary Care Record?</title>

      <enclosure url="The first version of EMIS Web to be available to GPs will &lt;u&gt;not&lt;/u&gt; include Summary Care Record (SCR) functionality. Those practices already uploading to the SCR will not be upgraded to EMIS Web until later in the year when SCR functionality is due to be released. This will avoid the potential dangers of an existing SCR record becoming out of date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those practices who are using LV and are being encouraged to switch on uploads to the SCR need to consider their local priorities; whether their patients have been adequately informed; whether an upgrade to EMIS Web soon is more beneficial to their patients than an SCR and a deferred upgrade; that the SCR is under current review; and that the BMA's GP Committee has recommended that further uploads are suspended until the review is completed and considered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then decide! But remember &lt;strong&gt;it is not a matter of &quot;either/or&quot; but of which to implement first in your practice.&lt;/strong&gt;" type="audio/mpeg" />
