If you do joint injections, then having a template in EMIS can help speed things up, as well as give useful prompts on what to mention regarding informed consent and recovery. There may be already one on your system but it may not be appropriate to your practice or may not include what you want it to include. Below I'll show you how to create your own Joint Injection template on EMIS which you can customise to how you want it. 

Sometimes in the course of the day as a GP, you may have occasional need to edit a drug chart (like palliative care drug doses) or change a document on EMIS. If you have printed out a drug chart then you could just write on the chart with pen, but you leave no auditable electronic trail. You could recreate the document but that may take up more time, and still may leave the wrong document up on the system. What I think is better is to edit a saved Word document on EMIS, which will leave a audit trail on the patients notes and hopefully minimise wasted time. Below is the process on how to edit a saved MS Word document on the patient notes on EMIS.  Have the patient consultation screen open and click on their documents tab.  On the document / drug chart you need to edit, right click to open up the menu and left click 'Edit'.  On the MS Word screen, do the edits that you need to.  Then click on the File button in the top left of the screen, and click 'Save As'.

In the consultation tab, go to CR config button found above.  Select the 'Quick codes and text' tab on the menu that pops up. Press the 'Add..' button.

Inside EMIS there are very basic macro functions you can do to help speed things up. I'll go through a very basic one which may help you speed up certain tasks and procedures. First of all, go to the top right-hand corner of EMIS where you can find the menu button. Click on the EMIS logo and go to Configuration -> Template Manager.

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) -         ...
