Pricare is here to help.

We have extensive documentation, handouts, crib sheets and user guides on all of the major CfH accredited systems to allow you to be one step ahead of your temporary position.

All of our help guides are clearly written in plain English and contain screen shots where necessary to help you work your way through.

You can also print these guides out and keep them at your side during consultations to refer to when required.

For the past 5 months, Pricare has been working closely with NHS Leeds Community Healthcare to migrate some of their larger services onto the Choose and Book platform. This will enable GPs to book appointments directly with the service for their patients at the click of a button. The services now live are MSK Physiotherapy (tiers 1 and 2, ESPs and Doctors), MSK Podiatry and Biomechanics.

Pricare is pleased to announce that we are now working in partnership with Productive Primary Care who provide the excellent product Doctor First to GP surgeries across the country.

Productive Primary Care is an NHS focused organisation that provides experience, training and expertise to organisations in order to improve practice efficiency, patient experience and clinical outcomes.

The company prides itself in applying local knowledge with national policy to identify the potential in NHS organisations to improve systems.  Using an approach widely recognised in the field of quality improvement combined with clinical and management experience of NHS systems, PPC Ltd assist organisations in a protected environment and recognise we all have different starting points and priorities to manage.

Their remit of work can vary from working with a GP Practice for one day to a whole PCT over a 12 month period. They have a wide range of skilled managers who have held highly qualified positions within the NHS and industry and are able to help you from the initial planning stages  through to the completion of a piece of work.

Pricare will be working closely with PCC Ltd to provide clinical systems training and support for the rollout of their Doctor First product.

Please take a look at their website for further reading and more information on the services they offer.

"An increasing proportion of GP referrals are being screened by referral management centres, with some areas seeing a raft of complaints from patients and serious untoward incidents. Other GPs are facing a ban on locum referrals, or being limited to as few as four referrals a week."

Here at Pricare, we are committed to supporting this campaign. Head on over to Pulse's website to voice your concerns and to sign their petition.

It's something we hear often. The training received migrating from one clinical system to another was great, but the reference materials left by the team afterwards were either poor or nonexistent. 

At Pricare we believe that great crib sheets or handouts are essential to have for the weeks and months after go-live. They reassure staff and are kept close by to ensure they feel confident to do their job on the new system, and do it properly. 

We have an entire suite of reference material for all primary clinical systems including TPP SystmOne and EMIS Web.

Due to a rise in demand for help with SystmOne clinical templates, auditing and time saving techniques for clinical and admin staff, we have created a new 1-day training product which will guide and advise you on these important areas of your system. 

The session covers amongst other areas the following parts of SystmOne:-

1. Creating and amending clinical templates.
2. How to audit your staff, prescribing and dispensing.
3. Streamlining clinical contacts using templates and auto-consultations
4. Using the new Document Management feature to speed up your scanning process.

The basic cost for this 1-day session is just £335 (inc. VAT) and is available throughout the rest of the year. Please contact us for more information or to book on sales@pricare.co.uk or by using our online form. 

All materials for the new scanning module (Document Management) have now been updated on TPP SystmOne GP. If your practice is not yet using this great functionality, it will save many hours of admin work. Head on over and log in to your materials to find out how to start using in your organisation.
