A new scheme came out earlier this year to try encourage more GPs to take on partnership roles. In it, it promised up to £20,000 for new GP partners who signed up after April 1st 2020. Things slowed down due to Covid19 but details about the scheme have just been released which can be found  here but below is the breakdown. Starting from 1st July, new to partnership GPs will be eligible for a sum of up to £20,000 for a full-time GP (37.5 hours a week). Also included will be 20% to go towards tax and national insurance.

If you don't have this option, you will have to install another Print to PDF option, I recommend  Cute PDF  which does this as well and is easy to set up.  The reason why you must press preview is that EMIS can crash if you just print it straight away without previewing it first. The preview screen

Due to Covid19, a lot of GPs have had to do more home working / remote access. A few GPs got given laptops with all the software included, but in my experience, the laptops can be a bit hit-and-miss. I thought I'd do a guide on how to setup home working on either your PC or Mac. I'm assuming you have set up Windows Bootcamp on your Mac, but if you haven't I will post another guide on how to Bootcamp your Mac. You will need: -           Certain files contained in here . -           Card reader or keyboard with card reader - the one below is very commonly used (affiliate link): -           Smartphone (optional) -           Windows 10 (may work on earlier windows though haven’t tried) -           Ideally an antivirus software Firstly email support@egton.net saying you would like access to the EMIS VPN.
