IT survey for Derbyshire GP practices

Derbyshire General Practice Provider Board (GPPB) would like to hear from GP practices about their current IT provision.

They are gathering information about what works and what doesn’t, what challenges practices face and what would make their life easier.

The GPPB has developed a Practice IT Needs and Preferences Survey that has been sent to all Derbyshire general practices.

The survey also asks colleagues to share which triage system they are using, as well as any Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, additional software to help with their work and if they have cyber security insurance.

The results of the survey will help GPPB work with the ICB to make practical improvements for those working in general practice, and ultimately support better care for patients.

This work is being led by Dr Peter Williams, who was recently appointed as GPPB’s strategic clinical lead for digital. As part of the work, Dr Williams will set up a WhatsApp group to share ideas and learning.

The survey and the forum are open to all colleagues working in general practice, including practice managers, primary care network (PCN) managers, clinical directors, GPs and colleagues responsible or with an interest in practice IT matters.

The survey deadline is Friday, 6 February.
