Sharing experience

Want to share your technical knowledge with other clinicians, learn from those who’ve optimised their clinical software or simply want to give us your feedback to help shape what we do for the future? Then becoming a member of a user group might be the perfect solution for you.

Share, learn and influence: join a user group

Spread throughout the country and representing a variety of different clinical interests, user groups allow healthcare professionals who use our systems to come together and share best practice. They also give you the perfect opportunity to give us your input about how we can shape our solutions for the future.

We run and work with a number of different groups that represent various interests.

Find out which group could be the right fit for you:

  • National User Group (NUG)

    Created to improve the way primary care organisations use technology, the NUG is an independent organisation that represents 1,600 practices and their experienced EMIS Web users.

  • Healthcare User Group (HUG)

    Members of this strategic, user-run group help us understand what functionality they want to see in our clinical IT systems and to prioritise what we’re going to develop for community, hospice and mental health users.

  • Hospice user group

    End-of-life care is highly specialised, which is why hospices have their own dedicated user group, made up of hospice healthcare professionals from across the nation.

  • Product focused user groups

    For those that work in a hospital setting or in a community pharmacy, these product-focused groups can help you with solutions like Symphony, ProScript Connect and our hospital medicines management systems.
