This new optional handy protocol is designed to support COVID vaccination clinics by providing a way to record a COVID vaccination with just a few clicks and reduce the chance of errors with recording vaccine batch information. Much like our popular flu season protocol this needs to be manually installed by our team and then vaccine information will need to be updated by the practice. To get access to this protocol please just contact our support desk who will be happy to install it and send you a guide to updating it with your batch details.

💻 ‘Standalone’ EMIS Web templates from PCIT
We have been working on a series of templates which sit outside of the OneLauncher protocols – we have informally labelled these as “Standalone” templates.
These templates are a selection of those highly requested by users which have often been developed in collaboration with users. They utilise parts of our OneTemplate Prescriber, NonPrescriber, and Additional Roles templates, but are split up to focus on one area of care. To this end, users may find them more straightforward to use when seeing a patient for a single long term condition or for a specific area of care.
To learn more about these templates, please see our support guide.

Queries about CQC Navigator?
CQC inspection teams use a set of searches which have been designed to help them to understand how a Practice manages their patient population, and to identify clinical situations which should not be happening. To support with this, Primary Care IT has adapted these searches to help practices understand what might need to be addressed before a CQC inspector finds it.
We recommend checking our CQC Navigator FAQ guide here. If you have any questions after reading the article, please raise a ticket with us for support.
