National record movement trial by Primary Care Support England

Primary Care Support England (PCSE) is conducting a national record movement trial using a blank document in place of a medical record. This is in preparation for a new system of moving medical records between practices, designed to track their location in real time.

Practices need to register with the new PCSE portal, which they should soon receive instructions on.  Then during the first week of February, practices will receive a Medical Record Envelope (MRE), a transit label for a single record movement and a shipping bag. Inside the MRE will be further instructions on what to do next.

Shortly after the record movement trial, PCSE will roll out the new process to practices in West Yorkshire using live medical records, and then nationally to all other practices in spring 2016.

If you have any queries, or would like PCSE to attend one of your local meetings to talk through the changes in person, please email PCSEngland@capita.co.uk.

A flyer explaining these changes is available here.
