This page lists the guidance documents for the recording of patient encounters in both EMIS and VISION systems within GP practices.
The guidance was first launched to all practices in April 2023 after being developed and piloted by the GP In-Hours project team (with a range of input from GPs and stakeholder groups). An updated version of the guidance was published in August 2024. Practices are asked to follow the guidance when recording patient encounters. It is anticipated this will improve the activity information available to practices and also fulfil good medical practice in record keeping.
