Primary Care Gynaecology Service (PCGS)

  

Commissioned by Coventry and Warwickshire ICB so that patients can be seen more quickly and conveniently for routine gynaecological care


About the Primary Care Gynaecology Service (PCGS)

The Primary Care Gynaecology Service (PCGS) has been commissioned by Coventry & Warwickshire ICB, to help tackle the long waits currently facing some patients referred to secondary care

The service is being provided by the Integrated Primary Care (IPC) on behalf of the four GP Federations working in partnership across Coventry and Warwickshire

The PGCS will provide a single point of access for routine gynaecology conditions and treatments where these cannot be met within individual practices

Please see link here for a data sharing agreement (DSA) for you to review and sign to enable use of the new Primary Care Gynaecology Service

Turning on Consultation Write Back in EMIS

The PCGS use the Coventry & Rugby GP Alliance EMIS Enterprise system (28896) to book patients using Cross Organisation bookings. This allows consultations to be recorded in the patient’s own record

Practices have already activated Cross Organisation bookings on the Alliance system, but we now would like to ask for your help to activate Consultation Write Back option. We believe this will help save time and allow more patients to be seen

You can activate this in your EMIS system through: Configuration/ Data Sharing Manager/appointments – Consultation Write Back in 28896 (Activate)
If you would like to understand more about the service and the referral process, please contact our team via: swg-tr.gynaeserviceswarwickshire@nhs.net
