The GPC have published a guide to implementing the unplanned admissions enhanced service. This should minimise the administrative processes involved, while supporting you to achieve the requirements of the enhanced service by complementing your care for the frail patients already likely to be under ongoing management. In addition, the practical examples for practices document provides further guidance and examples of how practices can meet these requirements. There are also optional templates for ongoing internal practice use, to minimise bureaucracy for reporting purposes. The read codes for this DES have also been published.

Hep B Read codes
The Read codes for the hep B vaccination programme have been published. The technical requirements document will be updated to reflect the read codes; however, this may not be ready for re-publication for a couple of weeks or so.
