By clicking onto the template all the relevant information is pulled from the record. Templates can also direct us to get the right information from the patient if that data is missing. In both cases we are making sure the patient is getting the correct care for their needs. 3. The ability to add additional patient information – for example, who do I have consent to talk to? Are they bed bound? Are they hard of hearing? This is all added by our admin team and personalised to each patient, so that we can provide better care. 4.Patient information leaflets – I can access them within the consultation to print off or send to the patient, giving them extra support they can rely on. 5. Safety checks - when prescribing, EMIS Web automatically safety checks contraindications and allergies, helping to make me a safer GP.

2. The comprehensive suite of search tools - such as AF Advisor, help me to efficiently review cohorts of patients and to work with colleagues to give them the best care. 3. Recruit - allows my practice and patients to get directly involved in research and trial recruitment.
