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.

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, as well as statistical and direct Patient care information purposes. 

A SharePoint site for Suppliers is available which hosts information on current and planned GPES extracts. Please contact GPDESA team (gpses@nhs.net) for access to the site.

Requirements

Suppliers should liaise with The Authority prior to developing any GPES requirements.

Compliance, 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.

Suppliers who have any questions or concerns relating to extract parameter values, which GPES must provide to Suppliers, should contact primarycare.domain@nhs.net.
