GP Connect - Comparison with proprietary booking

GP IT systems do not have the concept of ‘main’ and ‘branch’ surgeries.
The SPINE does not have the concept of ‘branch’ surgeries and therefore ‘branch’ surgery ODS codes

The user will search for a GP surgery using PDS
They will retrieve the surgery (i.e. main surgery)
When searching the DOS they will retrieve the patient’s home (i.e. main surgery) based on the ODS code retrieved using PDS and the ODS code on DOS
When they search for appointments they will be displayed with a list of appointments by location
When using GP Connect you are also performing a patient check at the same time, with this the 111 system will receive information on the patient’s preferred surgery
The preferred surgery can then be list as the top surgery to book into
