Remaining in contact with a patient's NHS GP is vital.

You must obtain consent from a patient to share notes back with their NHS GP, but with patients increasingly using both NHS and private services, consolidating a single patient record with the NHS gatekeeper should be considered the gold standard.

One of the most efficient ways of doing this is via Docman Connect. Docman Connect is an EMIS Partner product that allows you to securely share documents from EMIS back with NHS GPs.

NHS GPs receive Docman documents either into their own Docman instance, or into their MESH inbox within the EMIS workflow.
