A message from our team
Hello!
Welcome to our September newsletter, this month we’re sharing our recent Seasonal Vaccinations webinar recording as well as RSV & Homelessness updates to be aware of. As a reminder, our seasonal vaccination clinic protocols require you to raise a support ticket for installation. These are manually imported so you can locally configurate.
We also provide a “Known system code issues” guide. Due to a recent influx of support tickets and calls, please share this with colleagues. This is regularly updated. See the guide here: https://support.primarycareit.co.uk/portal/en-gb/kb/articles/known-system-issues-emis
Best wishes,
James (Customer Experience Manager)

This session covered using our EMIS Web resources to deliver an effective seasonal vaccination service. This included searches and reports, recall lists, eligibility checkers and our popular F12 clinic administration protocols. The team also spoke about changes to the RSV cohorts from 1st September 2026.
🔵 CQRS – RSV Update
The new RSV cohort became eligible from 1st September 2026 however the CQRS business rules have not yet been updated to include this cohort for payment. This means that the PCIT searches in 001O will not include these patients in RSV003. We recommend using the Missed Activity reports to identify these patients as you will likely need to request a payment adjustment for this activity.
🔵 CQRS – Homelessness Update
The flu CQRS rules have now been updated by NHS England and homeless patients are not being picked up as automatically eligible based on coding. We therefore advise making sure the team codes homeless patients with the code Needs influenza immunization (185903001) to ensure payment for this activity.
