New! GP CPCS Update
We are currently in the process of engaging with 25+ PCN's who have expressed their interest in being early adopters of GP CPCS. This includes arranging initial meetings to discuss the implementation/deployment plans, and to better understand potential training and go-live dates.
The deployment of the IT solution is also currently in discussion with Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership (GMHSCP) and we will provide a more detailed update on GP CPCS progress next week.
In the meantime please book onto the final GP CPCS webinar on 19th May if you have not attended one already, read the GP CPCS Action Plan to ensure you're prepared to deliver the service, and regularly check your NHS Mailbox for further updates.
