Formed in 2014, our main business is supporting GP Practices, PCNs and GP Federations.
We are pleased to announce that we have now launched our brand new website, How2.training.
How2 is a learning resource site providing a range of instructional videos designed to help GP practice staff make the best use of available Primary Care IT, and to introduce practices to new IT solutions.
A lot of the content on the site has been funded by Cheshire and Merseyside HCP but is available to view for FREE by anyone with an nhs.net email.
The platform currently has approximately 80 videos in total, with content covering a range of IT systems, (EMIS, Docman, AccuRX, iGPR, APEX etc) and a special bundle dedicated to the GP Appointment Data (GPAD) programme which includes the latest updates.
The site has some great features including video timestamps and we have more features being released soon.
