We are very very very excited to announce the birth of our GP Clinical Systems Support forum!
Accessible via facebook and integrated directly into GP accounts on GPnetworks, this provides a growing knowledge base of Clinical System support and a means to get instant help with specific issues.
As well as this, if you are knowledgeable about a particular Clinical system, you can even help others !

Private notes
All GP accounts have a Notes feature within their Availability Calendar to add private notes – just click on the little ‘n’ next to any session and a notes popup appears into which you can enter text. These are editable at any time by clicking the ‘n’ again.
These notes are, of course, only visible to the owner – and all your notes can be downloaded as a spreadsheet.
iCal integration
All GP accounts contain a feature to create an iCal feed from your GPnetworks Calendar – you can customise your feed to contain the data and date range you wish – then integrate that data feed into a number of devices and applications

A new feature has been released for Practice accounts to allow them to build their own Trusted Lists of GPs.
Any practice can request a GP to join their Trusted List (an email notification is automatically sent out) and the GP can accept or decline via a simple link in the email.
When a GP joins the Trusted List of a Practice, the practice will be able to maintain governance related information on the GP within their account and filter the general sessional availability screen to show only GPs on their Trusted List.
A GP can join as many Trusted Lists as they wish.
