Listen "40 years in GP Information Technology"
Episode Synopsis
Dr Jim Campbell is the Clinical Advisor to the @NHSNSS National GP IT Re- Provisioning Team @GPITScotland. He has been a key influencer in GP IT for nearly 40 years and describes his journey through the world of IT as a GP in Irvine, and GP IT advisor in Ayrshire, and also his roles with the GPASS Users Group, SNUG, and now NSS and GP IT Re-provisioning, with Dr Neil Kelly @NeilGKelly) of SNUG. Jim describes moving from a world in which all prescriptions and appointments were handwritten, and how he designed a Lunar Landing game, analysed orthopaedic discharges, asked if GPs were able to record disease incidence and prevalences, and then with the GPASS Users' Group, helped support other practices and share ideas, up to the present time, when he helps clarify the requirements for the new GP systems by developing "User Stories" to illustrate these to suppliers.
How will GP IT need to up its game during the current Covid 19 pandemic? He thinks the telephone and remote access to systems will be vital. How will the current crisis change peoples' perceptions of what general practice is going to be? That will be an on-going question.
