Listen "What is SNUG?"
Episode Synopsis
This new series of podcasts is going to look at how technology supports health care in Scotland, and SNUG - the Scottish National Users group (https://www.snughealth.org.uk) - exists to try and ensure that people get the best healthcare through the best use of technology.
SNUG is a group of people who are involved in the delivery of health care through GP practices in Scotland. The SNUG Members' Day was held in May 2019 in Cumbernauld and a number of people gave short interviews about how SNUG provides a vital clinical voice to those who make decisions about what systems get used in general practice, and the day was also a great opportunity to see what current best practice is in GP IT and also to look at important new systems on display. Drs Bill Martin, Lucy Munro and Sean Kennedy, and Paul Hemsley describe how SNUG helps Scottish GP computer users.
We also hear from Sarah Everett, a practice nurse in Glasgow about how she designs templates to support better health care and can share these via the SNUG website.
