Digital Business Change in Primary Care
How can digital tools support practices to change the way they deliver NHS services, could Artificial Intelligence have a role, what about remote monitoring? Our FREE education day is aimed at the digital transformation leads and those working in and with general practice with an interest in IT and informatics. Network with other practices, meet new people and learn about how others in primary care are tackling IT and informatics issues.
You will get a free lunch in a fabulous setting and:
- Understand how practices can adopt business changes to improve capacity and access
- Learn about updates to NHS App
- Learn how AI-Enhanced patient Triage could support GPs
- Understand how GP Connect is supporting Pharmacy First
- Look at how clinical coding can help population health management in General Practice
The BCS PHCSG have been running these free education days aimed at those in general practice and / or support general practice to discuss the digital issues of the day for several years. If you are interested in technology and or IT, are a seasoned professional, a new digital transformation lead or just interested, come along to meet us. Please register now as tickets are limited.
