A message from our team

Hello!

Welcome to our final newsletter of the year! As we approach the end of this year, we wanted to take a moment to thank all our customers for your support throughout this year. Moving forward we are excited to kick off the new year with even more exciting tools and updates.

PCIT Updates

💉 Don’t forget about the Routine Childhood Imms changes!

Don’t forget, the latest changes to the Routine Childhood Immunisations schedule go live 1st January 2025. As mentioned last month our resources are being updated ready for that change.  There has also been a recent webinar by UKHSA all about the planned changes and the recording is now available here: UKHSA webinar: changes to the routine childhood immunisation schedule from 1 January 2026

🚨 Don’t forget that QRISK 3 is available for PCIT customers* to be able to use within EMIS Web!

This year we released our calculator which means clinicians will be able to calculate a QRISK3 score within a clinical system with the result being recorded directly in the record.

This functionality has been built into: 
🔵 OneCalculator 
🔵 Lipid checking protocol (HP015) 
🔵 OneTemplate NonPrescriber in the NHS Health Check page (for those eligible) 

Primary Care IT would like to again thank Dr David Stables for input during our development of this important tool.

⚙️ Optional Handy Protocol Change (Reminder)

We have made a change to the way we offer our Handy Protocols to practices. Sites can now access the full list of optional HPs by going to Resource Publisher > Shared Folders > Primary Care IT Limited > (3A) Published Global Resources > Handy Protocols > Optional and choose which ones they want to move from inactive to active (therefore setting them as a live resource). Our Handy Protocols come with pre-set triggers but you can adjust locally as required.

📚 For further details on our Handy Protocols, read our support guide below.

✏️ End of year hints and tips!

Starting in January we will be sending out a series of guides to achieving QOF points in Q4 to all of our customers. If you want to receive these, please ensure you are registered to receive our weekly hints and tips using the form below.

Resource Releases & Updates

📊 New OneAnalytics Platform

We have launched our new OneAnalytics portal! What’s new: A modern user interface with improved performance and usability, stronger Security though Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and Local access management for faster updates and improved control.

As part of the launch of the new platform, your organisation will now manage its own user access directly. You should have now been contacted if you have been identified as the designated Organisation Administrator for this platform.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) will now be enforced for all users. Please note: Generic logins are no longer supported.

If your contract includes OneAnalytics but you are yet to be contacted, this means we’re finalising discussions with your area to ensure IG materials (i.e. DPA/DPIAs) are updated and accurate to cover additional functionality added.

For further details and support on using the platform, please see our Knowledge Base.

📅 Diary Entry Recording (TM00209)

This template brings together all diary recalls into one workspace, covering long-term conditions, diagnostics, follow-ups, medicines, women’s health, mental health and routine observations.

It includes an Introduction page showing the patient’s current due/overdue recalls, and pages for creating new recalls.

This template can now be accessed via the “More Templates” option on all job role specific OneLaunchers. This is to be used as part of our OneRecall product, specifically relating to our diary recall tools. Launch webinar: Diary Recall Resources Launch (EMIS) on Vimeo

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.
