Introduction

The General Practice Extraction Service (GPES) is a service that securely collects information, with consent from GP systems, and delivers it to approved organisations with the aim of directly improving

Patient care.

 Further information is available at

The Authority's GPES homepage.

Requirements

GPES Interoperability

Requirements 

The GPES-I requirements (V6.0.1), shown below, describes the functionality and interfaces that GP systems

Suppliers supporting GPES data extraction need to implement. 

In addition, the following requirements have been incorporated into CCN100 with the GP system

Suppliers under GPSoC for Step 2 of GPES Uplift:

GPES Uplift Supplier Requirements 

The GPES Uplift Supplier Requirements

contains the baselined set of requirements. 

The purpose of this document is to present the business requirements to the Supplier(s) to provide continued support for providing data collections. These collections are currently commissioned by

The Authority using the General Practice Extraction Service (GPES). The requirements within this document will enable

The Authority to transition from the current GPET-E process and use an alternative service to request and process the Extract Data.

GP system

Suppliers and

Suppliers should liaise with

The Authority prior to developing any GPES requirements.

GPES Uplift Reporting Pack

A

Supplier must refer to the Version 3.10 reporting pack when providing estimates.

GPES Sizing Extracts by Complexity and Capacity

There are two kinds of data extracts that are requested through GPES (Aggregate and Patient-Level). The complexity and capacity need to be broadly understood during the elaboration to determine timescales for their development and impact on available extract capacity on the GPSS infrastructure. The information in this document provides detail on how complexity and capacity are assessed.

GPES Extract Request

The extract request template forms the agreement between

The Authority and Supplier when a new data collection is commissioned.

Current Live Extract Specifications

The GPES Service is required to both develop and support NHS England, Public Health England (PHE) and Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) data extractions. These data extractions are required for General Medical Services (GMS) contract

practices payment and statistical

and direct Patient care Information purposes. 

Details of the currently live extract specifications are available on the GPES landing page on

The Authority's website, while the latest version of the collection timetable can be accessed via the GPES landing page hosted on

The Authority's website.  Similar details are also published by the Data Collection Board. 

Suppliers choosing to implement the GP Extracts Verification

Capability must meet the GPES live extract specifications.

Suppliers who have any questions or concerns relating to extract parameter values, which GPES must provide to

Suppliers, should contact primarycare.domain@nhs.net

A SharePoint site for

Suppliers is available which hosts information on current and planned GPES extracts. Please contact GPES team (

gpses@nhs.

net) for access to the site.

Compliance and Assurance and Testing

All Suppliers connecting to GPES will be required to follow an assurance approach. For advice, approach details, and support on assurance please contact businesspartners@nhs.net or visit NHS Business Partners.
