Delivering Local Services

Built using EMIS-X® technology, Local Services connects patients to local care providers through a process of patient triage and referral.

Connecting patients to local care providers

Local Services

Introduced in 2021 Local Services provides EMIS Web® practices with a referral management solution that is fully integrated and intuitive. The solution uses information held in EMIS Web patient record to populate referral templates that can be created to support a referral.

Initially introduced to support Pharmacy First referring patients presenting at GP practices, either by phone or in person with a minor ailment, to their community pharmacist, Local Services is now supporting many more referral types.
