Education
The Education sub-committee is trying to provide information and training to fill gaps we feel we have identified, such as brief training in consultation for new consulters - practices new to EMIS, new GPs and stass, GP registrars, F2 trainees and medical students - to allow them to use the system competently in the short time available for induction. We do not try to replace more formal and thorough training.
Please look at the web-based EMIS for Beginners LV and PCS, and the video tutorial clips for LV (produced by Clive Cole) and PCS (produced by Geoff Smith - for the Scottish version: non Scottish PCS users, the differences are highlighted!)
In addition we collect useful resources in this section: articles on SNOMED-CT - you will have to face it sooner or later! - Hints and Tips, some advice on preparing a case for upgrading to Web (England only) and various user guides and 'miscellaneous files' such as articles from the old Membership pack and the Template Library.
Resources are limited - but we welcome ideas and potential donations!
EMIS Web upgrade guidance
When you decide to upgrade to EMIS Web, your PCT in England is within their rights require you to provide a business case to justify the upgrade costs. The NUG has developed some materials to help with the production of a business case and to form the basis of discussion with your PCT.
