Primary care
As the leading GP clinical IT system provider we have a long history of supporting primary care teams, from individual practices to PCNs and integrated neighbourhood teams.
Get in touch View all productsGeneral practice is the foundation of the NHS, providing care to over a million patients every day. We support primary care teams with the technology, insights, and expertise they need to deliver safe, efficient, and connected care — helping clinicians manage growing demand while improving patient outcomes.
Our clinical system, EMIS Web, is the number one choice for primary care teams, supporting over 4,000 GP practices to deliver safe, efficient and joined-up care.
Founded in 1987 by two GPs, we’ve been supporting primary care for nearly 40 years. We understand that healthcare is constantly evolving, and to help you deliver the best possible care, our technology must evolve too.
We’re committed to being at the forefront of clinical innovation, which is why we developed EMIS-X, our next-generation platform. EMIS-X is designed to provide greater flexibility, integration, and scalability, empowering primary care teams to adapt to changing needs and deliver innovative, connected care.
With the insight of our dedicated clinical team, we ensure our technology isn’t just cutting-edge, it’s built for real-world use, designed to meet the everyday needs of the teams who rely on it. We're making sure you have the tools you need to meet the challenges of the future.
Get in touch
We help GP practices, PCNs and integrated neighbourhood teams, work together seamlessly by ensuring real-time access to shared patient records. With up-to-date information and intelligent decision support at their fingertips, clinicians can make safer, more informed decisions while reducing time spent looking for information. This not only improves patient safety but also enhances collaboration between care settings, ensuring better continuity of care.
PCNs are transforming healthcare, joining-up services to improve access, reduce health inequalities, and manage complex patient needs. We make it easier for primary care teams to work together, helping them understand and manage capacity and demand, to ensure patients are seen by the right clinician at the right time. Our solutions streamline workflows and enhance digital triage, making it easier to involve other service providers, such as community pharmacies, in patient care. This improves care pathways, increases efficiency, and ultimately provides better access to patients.
With prescribing demands growing, medicines optimisation is vital for improving patient outcomes and reducing NHS costs. Our expertise in medicines management supports primary care teams by enhancing prescribing safety, reducing medication waste, and driving cost-effective prescribing practices. By leveraging data and analytics, we help ensure that patients receive the right medications while improving long-term condition management and reducing avoidable hospital admissions.
Your knowledge plays a vital role in how we develop and update EMIS Web. That’s why we work closely with the National User Group (NUG), a member-run organisation that allows clinicians to give us their input on what they need from our clinical software.
