Did you know that NECS now offer training courses via MS teams, so no need to travel to a different site for onsite training thus saving time travelling to the venue?

Listed below are the courses that we currently offer to practices:

• Medical Terminology – this course is for anyone that is new to a GP environment. It looks where medical terminology originated. We look at prefixes-root words- suffixes individually and how by breaking them down we can interpret the medical term.
• Clinical Coding – this course is for anyone new or experienced who enters codes into a patient record. We look at the importance of the hierarchy and how this enables the delegate to make the right choice when coding in a patient record.
• Reporting Intermediate – this is a follow-on course for those who have attended reporting for beginners. The intermediate reporting looks at building more complex reports, using data outputs and manipulation of data.
• Introduction to QoF – this course looks at what QoF is and how it works for the practice. We look at the tools within your clinical system. To help understand prevalence and what it means financially for your practice.
• Clinical Records Management – this course looks at what good data quality means for a practice, how important it is and how to record this most efficiently within the patients record. Are you missing any functionality within your clinical system that may benefit you and your practice to possibly streamline workloads? For example, linking problem headers with medication, letters, and journal entries so that they appear under the relevant problem header.
• GP2GP degraded items – what is GP2GP, how to integrate a record and how to deal with degraded entries, sensitivities and medication.
