As we move into the second half of the year, we’re reflecting on key developments from July. EMIS-X ® has now entered the Tech Innovation Framework pilot phase, marking an important milestone as we move from technical and clinical assurance into real-world use across GP practices.
This month, we also explore how both pharmacy and GP practice teams are using technology to improve efficiency and enhance patient care. You’ll also find practical EMIS-X prescribing tips and the opportunity to register for our upcoming GP-QOF webinar. Plus, discover how Recruit is helping more than 1,300 GP practices connect patients with potentially life-changing clinical research opportunities.
Major milestone: EMIS‑X now in Tech Innovation Framework pilot phase
We’re pleased to share that EMIS‑X® has now moved into the Tech Innovation Framework (TIF) pilot phase, with approval from NHS England.
Following our July 2025 milestone where EMIS‑X met TIF technical requirements, we’ve now also received clinical clearance, confirming it is safe for use in live pilot GP practices.
The pilot is now underway across a small number of practices and will expand to more practices in the coming weeks, marking an important move from testing into real-world use.
More updates to follow as the pilot progresses.
